Summary:
Irlanda, 1840. Anna O'Donnell, una niña de once años, lleva, supuestamente, cuatro meses sin comer. Todos la creen una santa, y recibe visitas a diario. Elizabeth Lib Wright, una joven enfermera, es contratada para vigilarla y otorgar credibilidad al prodigio. Convencida de que se trata de un engaño, Lib se econtrará con que la respuesta no es sencilla ni la que esperaba. La autora de "La habitación" vuelve a ofrecernos una novela brillante, hipnótica y envolvente, que se lee con el corazón en un puño.
Tourists flock to the cabin of Anna O'Donnell, an Irish child who is said to be living without food. Lib Wright, a veteran of Florence Nightingale's Crimean campaign-- and a skeptic-- is hired to keep watch over the girl. As Anna's life ebbs away, Lib finds herself responsible not just for the care of a child but for that child's very survival.
