Product Information
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 )

Reviews
"Donoghue proves herself endlessly inventive.... This is the kind of book that will keep you up at night and make you smarter."--Julie Buntin, Cosmopolitan "Rich hauls of historical research, deeply excavated but lightly borne.... [An] ingenious telling."--David Kipen, Wall Street Journal, " The Wonder happens to be the better if less headline-grabbing of the two Florence Pugh movies premiering this season." -- Los Angeles Times, "A fine, fact-based historical novel, an old-school page turner...Donoghue has written, with crackling intensity, about [spirituality's] power to destroy."-- Stephen King , New York Times Book Review, "Donoghue, a writer of great vitality and generosity-one gets the sense that she would gladly have her characters over for dinner, as long as they'd agree to eat-has been drawn repeatedly to the genre of historical fiction not so much to inhabit or reinterpret the past as to try to fit together its overlooked, missing pieces.... Fiction is small solace for history's grief, but it's one way to set the record straight."-- Alexandra Schwartz, New Yorker, "Outstanding.... Exploring the nature of faith and trust with heartrending intensity, Donoghue's superb novel will leave few unaffected."-- Sarah Johnson, Booklist (starred review), " THE WONDER by Emma Donoghue is just that: 'a wonder' of a story about religious delusion and self-denial [that] teem[s] with drama and great moral questions.... Donoghue manages to engage larger mysteries of faith, doubt and evil without sacrificing the lyricism of her language or the suspense of her storyline."-- Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, "A locked-room mystery, set in atmospheric 19th-century Ireland and as spare, in its own way, as Room .... A fable as lean and discomfiting as Anna's dwindling body.... Donoghue keeps us riveted to Lib's perspective throughout.... Thanks to the complexity of Donoghue's ideas, there's plenty on which to ruminate."-- Amy Gentry, Chicago Tribune, "Has that vivid, ripped-from-the-headlines feel that comes from an author's utter fascination with a real-world subject.... THE WONDER is deliciously gothic.... Dark and vivid, with complicated characters, this is a novel that lodges itself deep."-- Steph Cha, USA Today, 3/4 stars, "Florence Pugh is intensely perfect as Nurse Lib, starting out with a harnessed perspective of great concern to slowly then spiral into exasperation and near-fury." -- Discussing Film, "Donoghue's superb thriller will keep readers hanging on to every word, pondering how far one will go to prove her faith."-- Liz Loerke, Real Simple, "Like [ Room ], THE WONDERexplores a dark, insular, and rigidly controlled environment.... Donoghue's clever use of an outsider as narrator lets her explain anomalies to us-what a creepie is (a log stool) and why people tie rags to a tree (to hold their pain)-as she encounters them herself. But there is more to this mystery than superstitions and local dialect. Lib must decipher the private truths of Anna and her family, who have closed ranks in grief over the loss of a son. She must puzzle out the community itself and its contradictory beliefs in religion, science, and tradition. And Lib has her own sorrowful secrets, her own need for personal redemption. Donoghue deftly pairs the two stories, and as Lib uncovers the truth about Anna, she gradually owns the truth about herself."-- Roxana Robinson, O, The Oprah Magazine, "Donoghue's measured prose is at its best when depicting damaged and failing flesh with extraordinarily vivid economy"-- Financial Times, "Donoghue is known for her bestselling novel, Room .... [But] she is also well versed in historical fiction. THE WONDER brings together the best of all, combining a gracefully tense, young voice with a richly detailed historical setting."-- The Millions, "A fine work, adept and compelling in voice, plot, and moral complexity.... Donoghue deals out the cards with real skill."-- Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe, "Donoghue is a master of plot, and her prose is especially exquisite in depicting ambiguity... Lib is a heroine the modern woman can admire."-- Sarah Begley , Time Magazine, "Donoghue poses powerful questions about faith and belief all the while crafting a compelling story and an evocative portrait of 19th-century Irish provincial society."-- Tom Beer, Newsday, "Fresh and unusually lively historical fiction. [Donoghue's] latest novel brings together both her preoccupation with child peril and her gift for history."-- Boris Kachka, Vulture, "What at first seems a simple matter becomes far more-stick with it, the payoff is there."-- Steph Opitz, Marie Claire, "An excellent new novel that is as much a mystery as it is an analysis of the extent to which some people are governed by their faith."-- Houston Chronicle, "As in "Room," Ms. Donoghue proves a shrewd observer of the parental urge to distort reality to protect children-and themselves"-- Sam Sacks , The Wall Street Journal, "Donoghue demonstrates her versatility by dabbling in a wide range of literary styles in this latest novel.... The closely imagined, intricately drawn story possesses many of the same alluring qualities as her bestseller, Room . .... Donoghue's engrossing novel is loaded with descriptions of period customs and 19th-century Catholic devotional objects and prayers...[and] asks daring questions about just how far some might go to prove their faith."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), " The Wonder scintillates for a number of reasons. For one thing, its study of religious fanaticism and sexual abuse touches a nerve in today's culture. It also represents perhaps the finest achievement to date of Chilean director Sebastian Lelio." -- The Hollywood Reporter, "[Donoghue's] contemporary thriller Room made [her] an international bestseller, but this gripping tale offers a welcome reminder that her historical fiction is equally fine."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "Chilean director Sebastian Lelio has brilliantly adapted Emma Donoghue's 2016 novel... Now with two great adaptations of her work (following 2015's Oscar-winning Room ), Donoghue may be on her way to becoming something like the Gillian Flynn of literary fiction." -- Lit Hub, "A reminder, as if we needed one, that Florence Pugh is our actress of the moment. This adaptation of Emma Donoghue's 2016 novel by the Chilean director Sebastián Lelio is a quietly simmering story of religious fervor and fraudulence. Set in 19th-century Ireland, it is the story of an 11-year-old girl who seems to be miraculously living without food. An English nurse named Lib (Pugh) is called in by local authorities to observe the girl and solve the mystery (or prove the existence of a religious miracle). This she does in a methodical, confident way even as her frailties--grief, addiction, sexual need--are revealed. The movie [is] wild and wonderful and Pugh anchors everything with her seriousness and commitment." -- Vogue, "Fascinating.... Like The Turn of the Screw , the novel opens irresistibly, when a young woman with a troubled past gets an enigmatic posting in a remote place.... Heartbreaking and transcendent and almost religious in itself."-- Sarah Lyall, New York Times, "This a completely engrossing read-you will barely be able to tear yourself away from it".-- Next Avenue
