# The Wonder - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Emma Donoghue** (Author)

**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_)
