2016.10.21. Emma Donoghue at Powell's

10/21, Friday evening. Emma Donoghue speaks at Powell's City of Books for her new fiction The Wonder, about an English nurse brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle – a girl said to have survived without food for months – soon finds herself fighting to save the child's life. In Q&A, she talked about screen play adaptation, Oscar award ceremony, the little impact of Irish Catholic heritage, her attachment to both Island and Canada, her writing. I enjoyed her talk very much.
