The Wonder

Description

Now a Netflix film starring Florence Pugh: In this “old-school page turner”
(Stephen King, New York Times Book Review) by the bestselling author of Room,
an English nurse is brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears
to be a miracle—a girl said to have survived without food for months—and soon
finds herself fighting to save the child’s life. Tourists flock to the cabin
of eleven-year-old Anna O’Donnell, who believes herself to be living off manna
from heaven, and a journalist is sent to cover the sensation. Lib Wright, a
veteran of Florence Nightingale’s Crimean campaign, is hired to keep watch
over the girl. Written with all the propulsive tension that made Room a huge
bestseller, The Wonder works beautifully on many levels — a tale of two
strangers who transform each other’s lives, a powerful psychological thriller,
and a story of love pitted against evil. Acclaim for The Wonder: “Deliciously
gothic…. Dark and vivid, with complicated characters, this is a novel that
lodges itself deep” (USA Today, 3/4 stars) “Heartbreaking and
transcendent”(New York Times) “A fable as lean and discomfiting as Anna’s
dwindling body…. Donoghue keeps us riveted” (Chicago Tribune) “Donoghue
poses powerful questions about faith and belief” (Newsday) Read more
