She accurately represents a set of highly focused people, some of which I work with on a regular basis. Maybe that's why she didn't feel overly simplified. All of her motivations are single-minded, but maybe that is just how some people are. In spite of that, I never felt like she was one dimensional. We never get much insight into our antagonist. This gave the setting a depth that could have easily been glossed over or skipped. Even during the action, we get plenty of descriptions that helped me imagine the setting. Action is not the name of the game during the early part of the book when we are learning all of this.īut once we know enough about our protagonist, things start moving. We get to learn about some of her childhood, her time through college and her choice of profession. Our author gives us a nice, in depth look into Marina's character. Marina Singh goes to the Amazon herself to find out what she can. The trouble is that he died in the Amazon and there is no reliable means of communication between his group in the Amazon and his employer and family back in Minnesota. This is a novel centers on a doctor trying to find information about how her colleague died. See, I read my large prints on the treadmill every morning. I needed to get started right away and finish in under three weeks. Once there are requests for a book, I can't renew it at the end of my three weeks.Īdd to that, this book is 526 pages in the large print form. I could bet that there were already more requests for it. So why shouldn't I start with the most recent?Įxcept that all of the library copies were checked out. I had never read Ann Patchett before, but she has written several books, some which I would like to read. I think I stumbled upon this book in a listing of new books.
