Marina Singh, who's given up her medical practice for the relative quiet of pharmaceutical research, finds her world upturned when she's suddenly sent to the Amazon. A field team there, working on a new drug, has been unresponsive for two years, and Marina's colleague Anders, who has gone to investigate, is reported dead. An adventurous story of science and responsibility from the ever-popular Patchett...The good news is that there are 30 copies available from Contra Costa, as well as four CD sets.
This will be our fourth book by Ann Patchett. We have read so much Ann Patchett and Ann Tyler, we talked about just reading books by people named Ann.
Our next meeting is Friday, May 30th. Rachel will lead the discussion, Lisa will bring books, and Mae will be our hostess.
