![]() ![]() That drug is so secret that using outsiders to check on its development is out of the question even as Singh agrees to go, Fox is reluctant to tell her exactly what it is. Anders, an amiable scientist who shared a lab with Singh, was sent to Brazil to track down Swenson and assess her progress on a new drug. The exact location of Swenson is unknown, and she has cut off communications. The company has been financing the Amazonian work of the formidable Dr. It is this relationship, however, that draws Singh into the puzzle of her lost colleague. Fox, and yes, “silver fox” is implied - with whom she has a budding, if secret, relationship. She also likes the man in charge of the company where she works - the widowed Mr. She returned there after her training and likes her quiet laboratory job. Despite her dark looks, which set her apart, she feels truly at home in Minnesota with its chill temperatures and wide-open prairies. The dutiful daughter of an American mother and an Indian father who divorced when she was young, Singh seems an unlikely choice for a jungle adventure. That woman is Marina Singh, a 42-year-old pharmaceutical researcher who travels to a remote part of the Amazon after receiving news that her colleague Anders has died there. In Ann Patchett’s new novel, “State of Wonder,” an ordinary woman winds up in increasingly extraordinary circumstances. ![]()
