A 2016 Shirley Jackson Awards Finalist *The latest masterpiece by Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Room* In the latest masterpiece by Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Room, an English nurse brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle-a girl said to have survived without food for months-soon finds herself fighting to save the childs life. Tourists flock to the cabin of eleven-year-old Anna ODonnell, 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 Nightingales 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 others 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 Annas dwindling body.... Donoghue keeps us riveted`` (Chicago Tribune); ``Donoghue poses powerful questions about faith and belief`` (Newsday)
