Nothing is as it seems, and the ending is as shocking as it's satisfying.\" -- Boston Globe\n\nFrom award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett, a provocative and assured novel of morality and miracles, science and sacrifice set in the Amazon rainforest\n\nIn a narrative replete with poison arrows, devouring snakes, scientific miracles, and spiritual transformations, State of Wonder presents a world of stunning surprise and danger, rich in emotional resonance and moral complexity.\n\nAs Dr. Marina Singh embarks upon an uncertain odyssey into the insect-infested Amazon, she's forced to surrender herself to the lush but forbidding world that awaits within the jungle. Charged with finding her former mentor Dr. Annick Swenson, a researcher who has disappeared while working on a valuable new drug, she will have to confront her own memories of tragedy and sacrifice as she journeys into the unforgiving heart of darkness.\n\nStirring and luminous, State of Wonder is a world unto itself, where unlikely beauty stands beside unimaginable loss beneath the rain forest's jeweled canopy. Patchett delivers a gripping adventure story and a profound look at the difficult choices we make in the name of discovery and love.","brand":"Ann Patchett","offers":[{"title":"HarperCollins \/ 08 May 2012 \/ 455","offer_id":52269018906965,"sku":"9780062049810","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780062049810.webp?v=1768563843","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/state-of-wonder","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
