In 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. As Dr. Marina Singh embarks upon an uncertain odyssey into the insect-infested Amazon, she will be 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. Stirring and luminous,State of Wonder is a world unto itself, where unlikely beauty stands beside unimaginable loss beneath the rain forests jeweled canopy.
