State of Wonder LP - Tapa blanda

"This is surely the smartest, most exciting novel of the summer."--Washington Post

"The large canvas of sweeping moral issues, both personal and global, comes to life through careful attention to details, however seemingly mundane--from ill-fitting shoes and mosquito bites to a woman tenderly braiding another woman's hair."--O, the Oprah Magazine

"An engaging, consummately told tale."--New York Times

"Packs a textbook's worth of ethical conundrums into a smart and tidily delivered story. . . . Ms. Patchett presents an alluring interplay between civilization and wilderness, between aid and exploitation."--Wall Street Journal

"Emotionally lucid. . . . Patchett is at her lyrical best when she catalogues the jungle."--The New Yorker

"Extraordinary. . . . Is there nothing the prodigiously talented Ann Patchett can't do? . . . Patchett's last knockout pages proceed full-speed ahead, with more twists and turns and trachery than the Amazon River. Nothing is as it seems, and the ending is as shocking as it's satisfying."--Boston Globe

"The Amazon setting is something Patchett does rather marvelously.... The book is serious, but also so pleasurable that you hope it won't end."--NPR

"Outlandishly entertaining...[with] a brilliantly constructed plot."--Elle

"Patchett makes the jungle jump off the page...This is Patchett's best effort since The Patron Saint of Liars and, yes, that includes Bel Canto"--Shelf Awareness

"A spellbinder from bestselling author Patchett. . . . Thrilling, disturbing and moving in equal measures--even better than Patchett's breakthrough Bel Canto."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
