Description

Now a major Netflix film from the makers of Normal People and Room, starring Florence Pugh. 'An old-school page turner with crackling intensity' - Stephen King 'Powerful, compulsively readable' - The Irish Times Eleven-year-old Anna O'Donnell 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. Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
