Description
The Wonder by Emma Donoghue is the unforgettable story of an eleven-year-old Anna O'Donnell who lives in the small Irish village of Athlone. Set in 1859, Anna is no ordinary girl as she has lived without food for months, claiming she is surviving on "manna from heaven." There are reasons to believe her claim as she showed no sign of fatigue or health problems. When the news about the "extraordinary wonder" spread, curious people from all over the world flocked to this tiny village nestled in the middle of Ireland. For the people of the small village, the case of the miracle-girl took centre-stage and a committee is hurriedly formed to determine the veracity of Anna's claims. Libby Wright, a nurse trained by Florence Nightingale and a veteran of the Crimean campaign, who was living in London, arrived in the hungry season of the year to find herself housed in a small, windowless room. She was hired to watch over Anna, not to nurse her but to keep vigil and observe her for two weeks, to see if the claims are true. And in due time, a verdict will be pronounced if it is a hoax or a miracle. Tension mounts with the tick-tock of the clock.
