My first book by Ann Patchett--wow what a story and so beautifully written too. I listened to this in the audio book format. The reader was excellent and really brought the story alive for me. When Pharmacologist, Dr. Marina Singh, is sent off to the jungles of Brazil to check on the progress of her drug firm's research team, she is continually amazed by everything she encounters. From the native tribes, the intense Dr. Swenson and the jungle itself, it is a state of wonder. Also key to the plot is the mysterious death of the previous researcher sent to check on the team. The story unfolds in such a compelling way. I really loved this book.
