The Wonder: A Novel

The Wonder: A Novel  by  Emma Donoghue               Audio Book:  13 hours      Paperback Book:  320 pages                  

Great story!   Take one devout Roman Catholic child that hasn’t eaten in 4 months, add doubting Thomases on one side and religious believers of miraculous manifestations on the other.   Stir in a priest who can’t be certain, the family physician who wants answers along with a committee who pays for a nun and one of Florence Nightingale’s nurses to come and watch the child 24/7 to be sure she really is surviving on no food at all, just her prayers.    You will seriously be riveted to this story all the way to the end and the epilogue.    Excellent story.   I highly recommend this one to everyone.    It is a page turner and nail biter all the way to the way, you won’t want to stop reading it.
