State of Wonder by Ann Patchett
A dazzling tale of science and ritual, terror and love, State of Wonder is the most ambitious and mesmeric book yet from the Orange prize-winning author of Bel Canto
The best book I have read all yearIt made me laugh and weep and left me in a state of wonder: perfect from first page to last ... a masterpiece * Emma Donoghue *
A triumph and Pachett's best book yet * Guardian *
Written with a wry grace and irony that reminded me of The Poisonwood Bible (another favourite). I like Patchett's Bel Canto - but I loved this * Joanna Trollope, Sunday Telegraph *
An absorbing novel, intelligent yet magical, that will keep you wondering until the very last page * Sunday Telegraph *
It pulls you into the book, has you standing in the jungle in the heat and sweat, as realistic as any computer-generated trickery, genuinely wondering what might happen next ... Just read it and be happy that such a writer as Patchett exists * The Times *
Something special and worth considering for all the literary prizes, festivals and reading groups going this year ... exhilarating * Daily Telegraph *
