State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

The review in Time mag writes that this is a retelling of heart of darkness.
A woman ethnobiologist has found a fertility drug, deep in the Amazon, and then goes feral.

She doesn't respect indigenous healers, referring to their methods as "poorly recorded gossip handed down ... from people who knew very little to people who know even less."

And here I was today, thinking of what might make a good story idea. "The Honeybadger Diaries."
