Libby as well as many others believe what's happening to be a hoax. Someone must be feeding this child.
How could she possibly survive on just spoonfuls of water? Others believe Anna truly is a miracle girl. It's not long before Lib becomes very attached to Anna.
Will she figure out what's going on? Can she save Anna? I really enjoyed this book. I was pulled into the story very quickly and hated when I had to put it down.
I love the way Emma Donoghue writes. An amazing and unique plot with such great characters. I was desperate to find out what was going on and was extremely satisfied with how it all came together in the end.
I can't wait to read more from this wonderful and talented author. Thank you NetGalley, Brown and Company, and Emma Donoghue for providing an advanced readers copy of this book for me to read in exchange for my honest review.

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 This review can be found on Amaranthine Reads.
This book was basically a short story fleshed out with too much inner monologue and chatter about not a lot. The plot was intriguing enough for me to wait until the very end to find out how this seemingly innocent young girl is defying all the laws of nature and existing on no food and very little water cheeky two-way bet that it's god or subterfuge , but altogether that was basically the whole plot.
There were no side plots, nothing coming in at the sides except a crude attempt at a romance and basically quite a lot of anti-religious sentiment.
I don't feel I can say anything about Ireland and Religion, but I should hope that anyone trying to do so would do it much better than Donoghue did.
We are following basically every second of Lib, the protagonist, as she walks to and from her watch of Anna: we have around four pages of actually following her every footsteps.
Once we begin to hear about this mysterious Manna from Heaven it gets pacier, but then drops off again and falls down dead in the bog.
It is a slow book, with little characterisation and completely dull happenings. The only good thing about it, and why I've gone for two stars instead of one, is that it is written really well, but only in factual terms.
I enjoyed the structure of the book. Grammatically there was nothing amiss and the few typos there were can be forgiven. The dialogue I always thought was really rather good and gave enough information to keep it all alive but didn't kill the story by giving away too much.
Punctuation and everything else that is taken in to account when talking of factually good writing was good.
Well done, Emma. But that is the only praise one can give such a ridiculously tiny, short-sighted book. I also wasn't keen on how the protagonist was ready to drop her knickers as soon as a man who wasn't in to the working-class superstitions of rural Ireland comes along and, whilst his role as the reporter come to blow the whole thing wide open was a welcome jolt to the absolutely monotony of the book, the way he intermingles with the protagonist is ridiculous and unnecessary.
A technically well written book, but a ludicrous and ultimately boring story. View all 3 comments. View all 4 comments. Sep 07, Dem rated it really liked it Shelves: favorites , irish-history-fiction.
Clearly the Irish Midlands were a depression where wet pooled, the little circle in a saucer" Quote from The Wonder The setting for Emma Donoghue's novel is the Irish Midlands about seven years after the end of the potatoe famine in Ireland.
This location is approx 20 miles from where 4. This location is approx 20 miles from where I reside and I was eager to see how this historical novel would read for me.
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 mist of a close knit Catholic community in the s. The Wonder - inspired by numerous European and North American cases of 'fasting girls' between the sixteenth century and the twentieth.
This is such an atmospheric novel, and the author really captures a wonderful sense of time and place. The harshness of the landscape and the lifestyle of the people really draws the reader in.
The country people are ruled and in fear of their religion. The customs and language and superstitions of the time is so accurately portrayed in this beautiful written tale and while not new to me being Irish and very aware of my heritage I appreciate historical fiction well written and based on facts.
She wonders - Did the Irish hate food. Quite from The Wonder This novel is a brooding and moving story that is haunting and wonderfully athmospheric.
Another good reads's friend said it reminded her of Burial Rites and I couldn't agree more. I had intended to listen to this book on audio and did try the audio sample but this one worked better for me on kindle and my thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this one.

Lib Wright was a nurse alongside Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War, escaping her own personal issues. But after the war, even for a Nightingale Nurse, life is monotonous; she is treated with disdain by her supervisors and fellow nurses, and is left to little more than me Emotional, at times disturbing, and tremendously thought-provoking, The Wonder once again demonstrates the sheer power of Emma Donoghue's storytelling ability, which first dazzled me with the extraordinary Room.
But after the war, even for a Nightingale Nurse, life is monotonous; she is treated with disdain by her supervisors and fellow nurses, and is left to little more than menial work.
But when an unusual opportunity for work comes her way, she jumps at the chance. Eleven-year-old Anna O'Donnell is growing up in a small Irish village.
She claims not to have eaten anything for several months, and says she is subsisting on manna from heaven.
Anna and her family have become a sensation throughout Ireland and England, journalists have covered the story with a combination of skepticism and hope, and people have begun to flock from all over the world to spend time with the "wee wonder.
They are to watch Anna for two weeks, trading shifts, and then report on their findings, which would determine if the girl is the miracle which some claim she is, or if she is perpetrating some kind of fraud.
Is the girl getting some sort of secret nourishment, or is she really surviving on manna from heaven? Lib, who doesn't share the same religion as the O'Donnells or most of Ireland's citizens, is instantly skeptical, and believes she will uncover the truth fairly quickly.
She searches for any way that Anna could be sneaking food, or if her family is in on the lie. But as she gets to know Anna, and understand where her religious devotion comes from, she finds herself doubting her own training and religious beliefs, and wondering if Anna really is part of a miracle.
But as Anna's condition starts to decline, Lib must decide what her true role is: is she merely investigating Anna's claims, or is she responsible for protecting the child, even if those around her might be endangering her?
How can she go against her mentor's training, to remove any emotional involvement with her patients? The Wonder posed some interesting questions, and Donoghue unfurled her plot and ratcheted up the tension, little by little.
While I had my suspicions about how the story would tie itself up, it is tremendously compelling from start to finish, although it certainly was a little disturbing as well, because I don't understand the type of religious devotion which imbued the characters.
This book reminded me a bit of Ian McEwan's The Children Act , in that its protagonist faced an interesting emotional and ethical dilemma which they thought they would be able to solve fairly quickly given their professional expertise, but then found themselves drawn in beyond their expectations.
Donoghue did a great job with this story, which made me think as it made me feel. NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company provided me an advance copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Lib is a nurse, a Nightingale, trained by Florence N. She arrives at her housing, a room above a small grocery, after a lengthy and bumpy ride in a jaunting car.
Rituals abound to prevent the fairies from their naughtiness. The girl is eleven, and for four months, since her birthday, Anna has not taken any food, not eaten at all, since then, yet is still seemingly healthy.
Anna has been brought there to watch over her, essentially to supervise and report if she does, in fact, not eat at all. Another nurse, a nun, stays with her the other shift during the day.
The family has been, not surprisingly, accused of creating this hoax, what Lib believes is a hoax. As time goes by, Lib is taken with the girl, and yet still she believes firmly that this child must be being secretly fed.
Receiving only spoonfuls of water a day, observed by herself and the Nun, how can she have survived for this long? Lib has learned to build emotional walls.
The details are where Donoghue shines in this historical, fictional tale that immerses you in the setting, the people and the time.
Is she surviving on air and water alone or is she somehow obtaining nourishment some other way? Religion is ever present in this story, but it is neither in a positive or negative way.

Extremely atmospheric, I felt the same frustration and desperation as Libby, this is such a vividly told story. Running up against Irish superstitions, so much she does not understand, and the hard and fast faith of this family and the people who pilgrimage to come see the child.
She makes a friend of a newspaper reporter and he will help Libby see the truth before her unseeing eyes. Anne, herself has secrets, reasons for doing what she is doing and the local doctor should be hanged for being inept.
Everyone has their reasons for doing what they do and I felt like shaking so many of them. Hard not to engage fully into this story. Where is the line drawn between evil and faith, duty and neglect, responsibility?
I was not a lover of Room, though I know many are. Loved Frog Music but I think this may be my favorite by this author. In the tone and atmosphere this reminded me a bit of the darkness of Burial Rites.
This is also based on a composite of fasting girls as they were known and the authors afterward needs to be read.

The local Doctor McBrearty residing in the tiny town of Athlone, Ireland knows the family well and is unhappy with the newspapers reports not believing the story by implying it is nothing more than a hoax.
He decides a committee should be formed and have the truth brought to light no matter what is uncovered. A nun, Sister Michael from a nearby village with nursing skills, and a Nightingale trained Nurse from England Lib Wright, are hired for this rather extraordinary and unusual assignment.
When Lib meets with Anna she is immediately suspicious of her claim to only sip water, and that most likely her family have been feeding her on the sly.
She adamantly believes it to be nothing more than a well planned deception. Lib Wright is a fascinating character as her inner thoughts are provided throughout the chapters with a good deal of reflection and pondering about her task at hand and those involved.
Author, Emma Donoghue has written a captivating, mesmerizing novel which was engaging and is a particularly unique story. Highly recommended.
View all comments. First off I have never been so riled up while reading a book before as I was with this one! I wanted to give a few characters a piece of my mind!
I wanted to throw my book at them but gently as I would never want to hurt my precious books but some of those characters sure needed to be smacked around a little!
To sum it all up it was a thought-provoking, intense, steady-paced, quick and easy read with a wrapped up quite nicely and satisfying ENDING for another enjoyable read.

It reall Hmmmm. It really just felt like the plot was trying to rub me the wrong way. Now, I know it is sometimes the point of the story to make you feel this way, but it is almost like it surpassed that and made me feel just wrong.
As someone pointed out, though, what might feel uncomfortable now might turn out to be thought provoking and might cause me to reflect a lot on it in the future.
I can see that — I can definitely see the topics in this book coming up in conversation. So, at this point — 4 stars for the writing, 2 to 2.

So, once it knocked on my door, I started reading it immediately. We find ourselves following Lib, a young, educated nurse, trained by the legend called Florence Nightingale, to beautiful, mystical Ireland and on a strange mission, a fe '' We find ourselves following Lib, a young, educated nurse, trained by the legend called Florence Nightingale, to beautiful, mystical Ireland and on a strange mission, a few years after the Crimean War.
Lib has to certify as to the truth about Anne, a girl of eleven, who claims to have stopped eating for four months. What is bizarre is the absence of any visible consequences of her abstinence.
Upon her arrival, Lib finds that the child has become a local legend, almost elevated to the status of a saint. Initially, Lib may come across as not particularly likeable, since she shows clearly that she regards Anne and all those who surround her as frauds.
However, I don't believe we should accuse her of being narrow-minded. Let us not forget that she is a woman whose true religion and vocation is Science, and sometimes, scientists can become as obnoxious as religious fanatics.
Still, Lib is not the only watcher of Anne. A nun, sister Michael, has also been appointed the task. This is a very interesting interaction that helps us see how Donoghue demonstrates the gap between Religion and Science.
The nun is silent and under close scrutiny by Lib. A third character that is interested in the case is Mr. Byrne, a young journalist of The Irish Times , who seems to share Lib's disbelief and cautiousness towards the ''wonder'', despite the fact that he is a Catholic.
What draws the readers' attention, initially, is the eternal battle between Science and Religion, Faith against Logic, Hope against Evidence.
And then, we stay for the characters who are realistic, each anchored to their own set of beliefs and ways of life. Lib comes to a point where she starts considering that perhaps science can't explain everything.
She is not obnoxious, but confident in her knowledge and her abilities, and brave enough to stand for what she believes in an environment that slowly becomes paranoic.
Anne is an extraordinary character. It is a rare case in adult fiction that we see such a strong child heroine, and Anne is the heart of the novel.
A gentle human being, firm and devoted to her belief, kind and caring for kin and strangers alike. She wants to understand and Lib is her guide.
Emma Donoghue's writing is a work of Art. She weaves a delicate veil to hide themes and clues, all in a language that is simple, but rich and beautiful.
Her descriptions of the Irish vilage are vivid, the characters and the dialogue are parading right in front of our eyes, we feel we are a part of the small community as we see it through Lib's confused eyes.
It is extremely hard to write a review without spoilers. This is true for every book, but especially for The Wonder , as the mystery that permeates the case never loses its tension.
My heart was pounding towards the final pages, it took all my strength to resist reading the end right there and then.
Visit after visit, day after day, I was trying to guess Anne's secret, the community's Lib's. Folktales and superstitions add to the haunting atmosphere of the story.
The fairies, the bogs with their mystical capacity to preserve the dead bodies, the religious hymns that are ever-present in Anne's household This is a novel that stays with you for many reasons.
The story, the characters, the writing. The Wonder allows us to judge it by its beautiful cover, and the result is to be remembered as one of the finest examples in recent Literature.

This patient is a frail smidge of an eleven year old lass who has not taken food in four months according to her family and the village doctor.
Lib must stay within the O'Donnell household and verify this as truth. She and a staid nun take shifts to monitor young Anna and document her daily routine as well as observing the family setting.
Anna surrounds herself with the comfort of holy cards and Scripture. The waft of Irish folklore and the wee people traipse in and out as Lib tries to make sense of it all.
