The Wonder

My book club read The Wonder by Emma Donoghue. I really didn't like it.  You  might like it though if you like books set in Ireland after the potato famine and you like books about children suffering. I understand that in some cultures and societies it is considered saintly to starve yourself to death.  I do not understand how this can be.  I am glad we have treatment centers for eating disorders around here.
