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, Emma Donoghue's 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.

SadPage-turnerHeartwarmingStory is wonderful, the nurse, the family, the men and the religious fanaticism that creates a havoc in little girls life. The audiobook on the other hand made it really irritating, the artist over did the accents to a point where it's difficult to understand whats being said, the whispers are extreme and overall production is poor.
