About The Wonder
In post-famine rural Ireland, English nurse Lib Wright is hired to watch an eleven-year-old girl said to have lived for months without food. What begins as a sceptical investigation becomes a tense psychological mystery about belief, power, and the lengths people go to protect the stories they need.
