Ann Patchett, who held readers captive with Bel Canto, her 2001 novel about a famous opera singer and a group of international dignitaries taken hostage by Latin American terrorists, is back in form with her mesmerizing sixth novel, State of Wonder. The way the characters act and how their behavior changes after the central climax in the book is truly remarkable.

It is the first one and how amazing it was. The Coachman: A story about a group of boys who discover an urban legend and it turns out to be truth. What a ride! I think it will be not fair to describe the book as a whole, because the six dreams are good in each own way, so I rather talk a bit about each one: What does she do? She doesn’t uses a lot of words, instead she show six dreams and that is where our journey begins.

No sense that the author was sharing something he cared about with me, his reader. But in the end there was no joy in this read. I could quote whole sentences and paragraphs and chapters that left me weak-kneed with their intensity and beauty. I can honestly say I fell in love with each exquisite sentence after another of this feast.

Its sentences are a nearly synesthetic paean to food and its preparation. An obsession with food's smells and colors and sounds and taste all like fireworks in their vividness and their cadence. There are glorious wild descriptions of food on nearly every page.
