HTML:<b>In this masterpiece by Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of <i>Room</i>, 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 month — and soon finds herself fighting to save the child's life.</b><br /> 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.<br /> Written with all the propulsive tension that made Room a huge bestseller, <i>The Wonder</i> 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.<br /> Acclaim for <i>The Wonder</i>:<br /> "Deliciously gothic.... Dark and vivid, with complicated characters, this is a novel that lodges itself deep" (<i>USA Today</i>, 3/4 stars)<br /> "Heartbreaking and transcendent"(<i>New York Times</i>)<br /> "A fable as lean and discomfiting as Anna's dwindling body.... Donoghue keeps us riveted" (<i>Chicago Tribune</i>)<br /> "Donoghue poses powerful questions about faith and belief" (<i>Newsday</i>.) Media Type: eBook. Scotiabank Giller Prize Nominee.
