Summary: "Expect miracleswhen 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 adventurestory and a profound look at the difficult choices we make in the name of discovery and love.
