State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

Wow, the ending really got me. The book was good throughout – an interesting story, nuanced characters, ethical grey areas, a good dose of suspense despite Patchett’s typical slow pace (which I love). But the last two chapters flipped everything upside down and then the book was just over with very little sense of closure. I don’t see that as a bad thing, though; it was a fitting finish and one that I’ll likely be thinking about for a while.
