My Opinion: As the successful author of the masterpiece that was Room I wondered if The Wonder was going to meet my expectations. Literary Awards: Scotiabank Giller Prize Nominee (2016), Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Historical Fiction (2016) Donoghue's masterful way with words and imagery has the reader sharing Lib's scepticism and disdain for Anna and her family's naïve religious fervour. a tale of claustrophobic suspense and the intense relationship between a woman and a child. Review Quote: Fans of Emma Donoghue's first novel Room will not be disappointed with The Wonder. First Sentence: The journey was no worse than she expected.įavourite Quote: “How could the child bear not just the hunger, but the boredom? The rest of humankind used meals to divide the day, Lib realized - as a reward, as entertainment, the chiming of an inner clock.
