State of Wonder by Ann Patchett is a great book. I have been reading so much dystopia and love stories, this book is a nice switch. It's about a team of doctors who live in the amazon with a native tribe to research the tribes long fertility. Because the development of a fertility drug is taking so long, the pharmaceutical company sends a man out to check on the progress and he ends up dying. So another company employee goes to get more details about the project and the death of her colleague.
What a great book. Well written, quick read, interesting topic. I love that there are just a handful of main characters. This makes it easy to follow and the characters are developed well. There is some controversy and pharmaceutical politics that come out which give the novel depth.
Men and women alike will enjoy this novel and it would be a great choice for a book club.
