Author: Paddy O'Reilly Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 288 The Wonders is a novel about a misfit trio who become instant international stars. What sets them apart is the radical, experimental and sometimes faulty medical treatments they've all undergone.

But what makes them objects of fascination also places them in danger. A wonderfully inventive novel that challenges our ideas about celebrity, disability and the value of life from one of Australia's finest authors at the peak of her powers. Paperback. …
