Potential readers would be more abundant in high school, but discussion is key. The themes are mature and dark and confusing, but don't we want them to stretch their thinking and be confronted with bigger thoughts in a historical context and the ability to share their reactions with adults and peers?(less)

Lib had a dizzying sense that time could fall into itself like the embers. That in these dim huts nothing had changed since the age of the Druids and nothing ever would. What was that line in the hymn they’d sung at Lib’s school? The night is dark, and I am far from home. I loved this book so much. So much. I can easily see why it won't be for everyone - truth be told, the plot moves fairly slow - but I was just so engrossed in the story and atmosphere. I suppose it just depends how much this k..more

I've only read one other book by Emma Donoghue but I loved it. 'Room' is one of my favorite books. Because I enjoyed it so much I was worried that anything else I read from the author would pale in comparison. However, after reading the description for 'The Wonder' I was very intrigued. Eleven-year-old Anna O'Donnell has become somewhat of a tourist attraction. A miracle girl who has apparently survived for four months witho..more

This review can be found on Amaranthine Reads.
A young girl in Ireland has supposedly lived on no food at all for months on end, claiming that she is living off 'manna from heaven' and English nurse Lib has been sent over from England to watch her to make sure the claim is valid. Surrounded by religious superstition, Lib must get to the bottom of the miracle-or stop the destruction of a young girl's life. This book was basically a short story fleshed out with too much inner monologue and chatter a..more

This story about the investigation into claims of a young Irish Catholic girl living on nothing but water for four months was initially slow to engage me. I think this was because I disliked the main protagonist so strongly. Town and church officials have hired an outsider to continually monitor the girl-wonder to try and discern the truth. Lib is educated and harshly skeptical, believing she will unlock the mystery quickly to expose a ruse. But there is more going on than she knows and Anna..more

The Wonder, by Emma Donoghue is a 2016 Little, Brown and Company publication.
‘Room’ is the only book I had read by this author before this one. I was so impressed with that novel, I put this on hold at the library, the instant it was released, but by the time it became available, after a whopping two month wait period, I’d already forgotten what the synopsis was, and my interest had waned somewhat. That, and the very different subject matter, the depressing tone, and the very slow pacing made th..more

A very different sort of mystery. Anna O'Donnell has supposedly not eaten for four months when Lib Wright is brought on as a nurse to monitor whether she is actually taking nourishment somehow. Is someone feeding her? Is she truly a religious miracle or is she “hysterical” as one doctor supposes? You quickly get caught up in trying to determine this young girl’s situation. And as Lib’s concerns go from trying to catch her out to worrying about her health, so did my concerns shift.

Pilgrims come in droves to see the devout girl, paying their alms (which fatten the coffers of the local parish).

Will Emma Donoghue ever top the success of Room? The Booker-shortlisted, Oscar-generating novel was a huge hit with readers and critics alike.

The new novel from the bestselling author of Room
'Emma Donoghue's writing is superb alchemy, changing innocence into horror and horror into tenderness' Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife
'Donoghue's superb novel will leave few unaffected.' Booklist
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, The Wonder - inspired by numerous European and North American 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.
