State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

Ann Patchett, author of the phenomenally popular Bel Canto, is back with a new audiobook, and it's a hit already.  Fans of audiobooks that take them to far away places should be interested in State of Wonder's Amazon rainforest setting, and those who like a little politics in their fiction will be interested in the plot about pharmaceutical company research.  And, as always, Patchett fills her story with characters you won't soon forget.  From the Independent's review:

"Patchett's sympathetic instinct, the magical trick she performs which ensures that every novel she writes is a work to be embraced, is always to pull the reader in, not to alienate her."
