Dr. Marina Singh is a lab researcher for a large pharmaceutical company. Her close co-worker, Anders, has been sent to the Amazon jungle to get a progress report from an intractable researcher there. While in Brazil, Anders dies of some sort of fever. Marina's boss sends her to Brazil to find out as much as she can about his death. She goes very reluctantly. She lands In Manaus and is forced to wait there for some weeks until Dr. Swenson, the chief of research, comes out of the Amazon to buy supplies, and Marina persuades Swenson to take her to a tribal encampment where Swenson has been working for many years.
The story charts Marina's stay in Manaus, her time in the Amazon jungle, the new relationships she forms, and especially the change in her thinking. It is a true adventure story, filled with happenings that border on magical realism. There are also anacondas and, cannibals and scientific horrors. It's a beautiful book, Patchett's best, and I highly recommend it.… (más)
