Patchett never disappoints. This is the story of a scientist who goes to the Amazon to investigate the mysterious death of a colleague who had been sent to find out what was happening with a research project into drugs which could change female fertility. It brings the wonders and dangers of the rainforest to life, as well as the tribes who live there, and we follow the scientist's own journey as in solving the mystery she gets sucked into the research project. A great read.
