Friday Book Flick: State of Wonder by Ann Patchett
Ann Patchett's new bestselling novel, State of Wonder, is about "a researcher at a pharmaceutical company, Marina Singh [who] journeys into the heart of the Amazonian delta to check on a field team that has been silent for two years--a dangerous assignment that forces Marina to confront the ghosts of her past."
In this video, watch Ann Patchett discuss the background for State of Wonder, including her own trip to the Amazon.
