State of Wonder is a 2011 novel by American author Ann Patchett. It is the story of pharmacologist Marina Singh, who journeys to Brazil to bring back information about seemingly miraculous drug research being conducted there by her former teacher, Dr. Annick Swenson. The book was published by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom and by Harper in the United States. It was critically well received, and was nominated for the Wellcome Trust Book Prize and the Orange Prize for Fiction, among other nominations.
It amazes me how Patchett can change her voice so completely. This book is emotionally tense and dense. You and the protagonist are unsure about how things effect you, just along for a bumpy ride down the Amazon. Then it ends in a wonderful release.
