The Wonder For Cheap

Description
netfNow 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)
