The Wonder: A Novel - Hardcover

“Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can’t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it’s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory.” (Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours)

“Remarkable . . . heartrending. . . . Both gripping and poignant, it’s a tribute to human resourcefulness and resilience and extremity, and a stirring portrait of a mother’s devotion.” (Toronto Star)

“Claustrophobic, controversial, brilliant . . . inventive, tense, and stringently intelligent.” (Maclean's)

“A masterful, gorgeous, and wickedly well written book. (Francesca Lia Block, author of Dangerous Angels: The Weetzie Bat Books)

“Threading her stories together like a master weaver, Donoghue takes the reader deeper and deeper into the tapestry of Kissing The Witch. A masterful, gorgeous, and wickedly well written book. (Francesca Lia Block author of Weetzie Bat)

“Sophisticated, provocative, and bracing. ” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Thrilling and at moments palm-sweatingly harrowing.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Her contemporary thriller Room (2010) made the author an international bestseller, but this gripping tale offers a welcome reminder that her historical fiction is equally fine.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“Donoghue’s literary prowess creeps like a dark, menacing fog across the pages.” (Quill & Quire)

“Donoghue is back with a novel as gripping and intense as the popular Room. . . . The prose is so intensely alive, so cinematic that you truly can see the action unfolding before your eyes.” (Ottawa Citizen)
