Central Library - Brown Bag Book Discussion Group - State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

All Events

7/25/2012 at 12:00 PM to 7/25/2012 at 1:00 PM

Description:

Dr. Marina Singh, a research scientist with a Minnesota pharmaceutical company, is sent to Brazil to track down her former mentor who seems to have all but disappeared in the Amazon.

Once found, Dr. Swenson, now in her seventies, is as ruthless and uncompromising as she ever was. With a combination of science and subterfuge, she dominates her research team and the natives she is studying with the force of an imperial ruler.

Poison arrows, devouring snakes and a neighboring tribe of cannibals… a world unto itself. Unlikely beauty stands beside unimaginable loss. Into the very heart of darkness, and what lies on the other side. 

Our adult discussion group meets in the Rundel Auditorium, 3rd floor of Central Library’s Rundel Memorial Building.

Group Moderator: Carol Moldt
Librarian, Central’s Literature Division
