State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

One of the best books that I’ve read all year. A pharmacologist is sent deep into the Amazon in search of her co-worker’s remains and to meet a secretive researcher who holds the secret to life-long fertility. A gripping story you won’t want to put down! – Recommended by Ellen
