This richly atmospheric, gothic tale is set in a small Irish village in the 1850s, and focuses on Anna, the girl believed to be thriving after months without food, and Lib, one of the nurses hired to uncover the truth. Donoghue writes an engrossing story, exploring religion and Irish superstition, with a creeping tension that propels the reader through, as we strive to find out what is actually going on with this little girl and why.
