Description
The Irish Midlands, 1859. An English nurse, Lib Wright, is summoned to a tiny village to observe what some are claiming as a medical anomaly or a miracle - a girl said to have survived without food for months. Tourists have flocked to the cabin of eleven-year-old Anna O'Donnell, and a journalist has come down to cover the sensation. The Wonder is a tale of two strangers who transform each other's lives, a psychological thriller, and a story of love pitted against evil.

This book had an intriguing premise that made me want to find out more. It was very slow to get started though, and took a long time to set the scene. The chapters are long (over an hour) so the first 40% felt a bit hard going, as nothing much really happens.
