Overview:
This collection brings together three of Emma Donoghue's most acclaimed novels — The Pull of the Stars, The Wonder, and Room — in one covetable paperback set. Spanning a flu-ravaged Dublin maternity ward, a mysterious fasting girl in 1850s Ireland, and a boy's confined world with his mother, each book showcases Donoghue's gift for turning real historical events and difficult human situations into unforgettable, page-turning fiction. A brilliant introduction or gift for any serious fiction reader.
About the Books:
Emma Donoghue's storytelling shines across all three novels in this set, each distinct in setting yet united by her signature intimacy and emotional precision. The Pull of the Stars takes place over three days in a Dublin hospital during the 1918 flu pandemic, following nurse Julia Power as she cares for expectant mothers in a cramped, understaffed ward. Tense and immersive, it draws vivid parallels between past and present public health crises.
The Wonder is set in the Irish Midlands in the 1850s, where English nurse Lib Wright is sent to observe an eleven-year-old girl who claims to have survived without food for months. Part psychological mystery, part meditation on faith, it builds slow, unsettling suspense, and was later adapted into a Netflix film.
Room, Donoghue's best-known novel, is narrated by five-year-old Jack, who has spent his entire life inside a locked room with his mother. Told through Jack's innocent perspective, it is by turns harrowing and tender, exploring captivity, maternal love and re-entry into the wider world. A major bestseller, it was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and adapted into an Oscar-winning film.
