The Wonder Paperback / softback
by Emma Donoghue
Paperback / softback
Description
A major film from the makers of Normal People and Room, starring Florence Pugh and streaming on Netflix. An eleven-year-old girl stops eating, but remains miraculously alive and well.
A nurse, sent to investigate whether she is a fraud, meets a journalist hungry for a story . . . Set in the Irish Midlands in the 1850s, Emma Donoghue's The Wonder – inspired by numerous cases of 'fasting girls' between the sixteenth century and the twentieth – is a psychological thriller about a child's murder threatening to happen in slow motion before our eyes.
Pitting all the seductions of fundamentalism against sense and love, it is a searing examination of what nourishes us, body and soul.
