The events in this novel take place in a village in Ireland in which a young English nurse, Lib Wright has been called upon to assist with an unusual matter. I was drawn to The Wonder having been intrigued by the premise and its historical setting so was looking forward to reading it. This is the first of her books I have read although I have Room on my ever growing TBR. One of the books selected by my book club for this month was The Wonder by Emma Donoghue. ![]()
