I finished reading The Wonder
by Emma Donoghue. It's about a young girl who claims not to have eaten
anything for four months since her first communion and one of the
nurses who was brought to the village in Ireland to watch her to make
sure that she truly is not eating (since some hope a true miracle is
happening that will bring tourism to town and possible result in the
town being the home of a designated saint of the Church. It is well
written for the most part. (There are some thoughts/statements by the
nurse that just seem to crop up too often.) The characters and their
motivations are believable. I give the book 4 stars out of 5.
