The Story of Wonder by Ann Patchett

Forgettable. So forgettable I can't actually remember what it's about and I finished it not one hour ago, although I cannot deny that the crucial hour has been spent inhaling a rather a good red.

Oh yes - American drug company, possible fertility cure in Amazon, missing researcher/scientist (dead?), rescue mission, success! (at cost of Brazilian boy but that's largely irrelevant because the clever American man is safe!!!!).

The characters are sketchy and not easy to engage with. The writing isn't bad but the plot is boring.  On the plus side, you can polish it off in a few hours. Unlike the red, which sadly took up significantly less of my time
