ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"State of Wonder", by Ann Patchett, follows Marina Singh, a research scientist sent to the Amazon to investigate the mysterious work of her former mentor, Dr. Annick Swenson. Swenson, a brilliant but elusive figure, is developing a groundbreaking fertility drug derived from the secrets of the Lakashi tribe. Marina's journey becomes a thrilling exploration of scientific ambition, ethical dilemmas, and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of a lush and dangerous jungle. She encounters a diverse cast of characters, including the enigmatic Dr. Swenson, the idealistic Bovenders, and the resourceful Easter, a young deaf boy who guides them through the Amazon’s intricate waterways. As Marina delves deeper into Swenson’s research, she uncovers unsettling truths about the drug’s development, the Lakashi culture, and her own past, forcing her to confront her fears and redefine her understanding of scientific progress.
