About The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
Set in an impoverished Irish village, Emma Donoghue’s 2016 historical novel follows Lib Wright, a young English nurse sent to observe eleven-year-old Anna O’Donnell. Anna is said to have eaten nothing for months and yet appears to be thriving.
Lib expects to uncover a hoax, but as she watches Anna and gets to know her, the explanation becomes less certain. Blending historical fiction with mystery and questions of religion, the novel will suit readers interested in Ireland, Victorian-era nursing, and stories built around an unsettling investigation.
