"Expect miracles when you read Ann Patchett's fiction."--New York Times
Book Review
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett returns
with a provocative and assured novel of morality and miracles, science
and sacrifice set in the Amazon rainforest. Infusing the narrative with
the same ingenuity and emotional urgency that pervaded her acclaimed
previous novels Bel Canto, Taft, Run, The Magician's Assistant,
and The Patron Saint of Liars, Patchett delivers an enthrallingly
innovative tale of aspiration, exploration, and attachment in State of
Wonder--a gripping adventure story and a profound look at the difficult
choices we make in the name of discovery and love.
