State Of Wonder
Trade cloth edition in good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Sticker damage on back cover near spine. Full number line starting with 1. Mylar cover included.
“Never be so focused on what you’re looking for that you overlook the thing you acturally find.”
Pharmaceutical researcher Dr. Marina Singh sets off into the Amazon jungle to find the remains and effects of a colleague who recently died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. But first she must locate Dr. Anneck Swenson, a renowned gynecologist who has spent years looking at the reproductive habits of a local tribe whose women can conceive well into their middle ages and beyond. Eccentric and notoriously tough, Swenson is paid to find the key to this longstanding childbearing ability by the same company for which Dr. Singh works. That isn’t their only connection: both have an overlapping professional past that Dr. Singh has long tried to forget. In finding her former mentor, she must face her own disappointments and regrets, along with the jungle’s unforgiving humidity and insects.
