The Wonder - Emma Donoghue

Detalii:

nIn this masterpiece by Emma Donoghue, 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 month -- and soon finds herself fighting to save the childs life. n Tourists flock to the cabin of eleven-year-old Anna ODonnell, 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 Nightingales Crimean campaign, is hired to keep watch over the girl. n n 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 others lives, a powerful psychological thriller, and a story of love pitted against evil. n n Acclaim for The Wonder n n Deliciously gothic.... Dark and vivid, with complicated characters, this is a novel that lodges itself deep (USA Today, 3/4 stars) n n Heartbreaking and transcendent(New York Times) n n A fable as lean and discomfiting as Annas dwindling body.... Donoghue keeps us riveted (Chicago Tribune) n n Donoghue poses powerful questions about faith and belief (Newsday)n
