A Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist and #1 bestseller, The Wonder is the latest masterpiece from Man Booker Prizeânominated author Emma Donoghue.
The Toronto Star praises The Wonder as âa thoroughly enjoyable read from one of the countryâs premier storytellers.â Emma Donoghue takes the reader back to 1850s Ireland, where a village is baffled by Anna OâDonnellâs fast. The little girl appears to be thriving after months without food, and the story of this âwonderâ has reached fever pitch. Tourists flock to the OâDonnell familyâs cabin, and an international journalist is sent to cover the sensational story. Enter Lib, an English nurse trained by Florence Nightingale, who is hired to keep watch for two weeks and determine whether or not Anna is a fraud. As Anna deteriorates, Lib finds herself responsible not just for the care of a child, but for getting to the root of why the child may actually be the victim of murder in slow motion.
The Wonder works beautifully on many levelsâas a simple tale of two strangers who will transform each otherâs lives, as a powerful psychological thriller and as a story of love pitted against evil in its many masks.
