Historia
Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding, Lucrezia is thrust into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must make her way in a court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed.

Historia
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him.

In seventh-century Ireland, a scholar and priest called Artt has a dream telling him to leave the sinful world behind. Taking two monks—young Trian and old Cormac—he rows down the river Shannon in search of an isolated spot on which to found a monastery. Drifting out into the Atlantic, the three men find an impossibly steep, bare island inhabited by tens of thousands of birds, and claim it for God. In such a place, what will survival mean?

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

It is a hot summer in rural Ireland. A child is taken by her father to live with relatives on a farm, not knowing when or if she will be brought home again. In the Kinsellas' house, she finds an affection and warmth she has not known and slowly, in their care, begins to blossom. But there is something unspoken in this new household—where everything is so well tended to—and this summer must soon come to an end.

Resumen del Editor
Now a Netflix film starring Florence Pugh: In this “old-school page turner” (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review) by the bestselling author of Room, an English nurse is brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle—a girl said to have survived without food for months—and soon finds herself fighting to save the child's life.
Tourists flock to the cabin of eleven-year-old Anna O'Donnell, who believes herself to be living off manna from heaven, and a journalist is sent to cover the sensation. Lib Wright, a veteran of Florence Nightingale's Crimean campaign, is hired to keep watch over the girl.
Written with all the propulsive tension that made Room a huge bestseller, The Wonder works beautifully on many levels—a tale of two strangers who transform each other's lives, a powerful psychological thriller, and a story of love pitted against evil.
Acclaim for The Wonder:
"Deliciously gothic.... Dark and vivid, with complicated characters, this is a novel that lodges itself deep" (USA Today, 3/4 stars)
"Heartbreaking and transcendent" (New York Times)
"A fable as lean and discomfiting as Anna's dwindling body.... Donoghue keeps us riveted" (Chicago Tribune)
"Donoghue poses powerful questions about faith and belief" (Newsday)
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Fascinating.... Like The Turn of the Screw, the novel opens irresistibly, when a young woman with a troubled past gets an enigmatic posting in a remote place.... Heartbreaking and transcendent and almost religious in itself."—Sarah Lyall, New York Times

Historia
When Cora Seaborne's brilliant, domineering husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with as much relief as sadness: her marriage was not a happy one. Wed at 19, this woman of exceptional intelligence and curiosity was ill-suited for the role of society wife. Seeking refuge in fresh air and open space in the wake of the funeral, Cora leaves London for a visit to coastal Essex, accompanied by her inquisitive and obsessive 11-year old son, Francis, and the boy's nanny, Martha.

Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, and intrepid orphans - decked out in corsets, clockwerk suits, and tall black boots - solve dastardly crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships.

With "pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War.

great story, amazing narration
Very moving and poignant story. I haven't seen the movie, but I plan to now. I hope it does this book justice. the narrator did a fantastic job! I listened to audiobooks all the time, and I can count on one hand the number of narrators that have blown me away with their talent, and this one is definitely one of the best I've ever heard.

Slow start but amazing finale!
First off, hats off to Tara Egan Langley for a spectacular performance of this wonderful and brooding novel! No spoilers but the story moves slowly at first, and I found myself losing patience with the narrator and almost every other stubborn character in the book. But partway through, finally, a character who helps to shed light on the odd circumstances, and mystery upon mystery is revealed. The author kept me guessing until the end. I will now watch the Netflix film!

compelling, slow and disturbing
My title sums it up. you can understand how a young Irish girl can get caught up in the Catholic ideology. You. can also understand how such a thing may happen. The book also reinforcers how the church is a master of cover ups. So much for following Jesus teachings.
Just do what you want and you'll be forgiven.

Riveting
Started off slow but so glad I stuck with it. Amazing storyline and narration. Now on to look at the other novels by this author.

Recommend, not your typical 19th century story
Wasn’t sure what to make of the protagonist at first, loved the character development, brilliant narration.

Perfection
I saw the movie and thought, this must be a book. I found it on audible and just had to listen to it. As usual, the book was even better than the movie. More in depth and a joy to listen to. I found myself thinking of the characters when I wasn't listening and looking for excuses and tasks that would allow me to listen to it. It's a wonderful story, so don't hesitate to get it

A riveting story
A life and death and life story. A very different kind of tale. Well told by the narrator. Definitely keeps your attention. I highly recommend "The Wonder"!

Excellent in Every Way
My disclaimer is that I had read this book (hard copy) when it first came out. I love Emma Donoghue’s writing, and was thrilled to return to this audiobook (I remembered many parts, but not the intricacies of the plot.) Her writing is simple and luminous, her characters multi-layered. This book takes place over the course of two weeks, and I appreciated the incisive way that Lib bucks against the conservative Catholicism— more precisely, its dogmatism—she encounters in mid1800s Ireland: the sway it holds over many characters and the frightful situation that arises from it.
If you believe that faith should never be questioned or challenged, this is not the book for you. If you believe in critical thinking, and appreciate the ability to put principles above obedience, I hope you love this book as much as I do.
