Product Information
" The Wonders is a poet's novel, delicate but strong, impressing its images firmly on the imagination." --Hilary Mantel LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD NOW TRANSLATED INTO FIFTEEN LANGUAGES From award-winning Spanish poet Elena Medel comes a mesmerizing new novel of class, sex, and desire. Already an international sensation, The Wonders follows Maria and Alicia through the streets of Madrid, from job to job and apartment to apartment, as they search for meaning and stability in a precarious world and unknowingly trace each other's footfalls across time. Maria moved to the city in 1969, leaving her daughter with her family but hoping to save enough to take care of her one day. She worked as a housekeeper, then a caregiver, and later a cleaner, and somehow she was always taking care of someone else. Two generations later, in 2018, Alicia was working at the snack shop in Madrid's Atocha train station when it overflowed with protestors and strikers. All women--and so many of them--protesting what? Alicia wasn't entirely sure. She couldn't have known that Maria was among them. Alicia didn't have time for marches; she was just trying to hang on until the end of her shift, when she might meet someone to take her away for a few hours, to make her forget. Readers will fall in love with Maria and Alicia, whose stories finally converge in the chaos of the protests, the weight of the years of silence hanging thickly in the air between them. The Wonders brings half a century of the feminist movement to life, and launches an inimitable new voice in fiction. Medel's lyrical sensibility reveals her roots as a poet, but her fast-paced and expansive storytelling show she's a novelist ahead of her time.

Reviews
"I read The Wonders is one page-turning night. Yet to describe Elena Medel's debut as gripping is to miss the point. An unflinching story about class, sex, family, and working women everywhere, this book achieves a rare combination of novelistic plotting and virtuosic interiority that left me rooting for Maria and Alicia as if I'd known them all my life." -- Anna Solomon, author of The Book of V. "A mesmerizing read. Medel's prose is hypnotic--it's hard to believe this is her first novel. I was completely engrossed in this story, in the shadow each generation casts on the one that comes after it, in the tension between caring for oneself and caring for others." -- Avni Doshi, author of the Booker Prize finalist Burnt Sugar "Dreamlike yet precise, internal yet expansive, The Wonders moves between generations of women with a clear-eyed empathy for their struggles to be free. Medel's characters are hungry, angry, imperfect, and completely alive." -- Adrienne Celt, author of Invitation to a Bonfire and End of the World House "Completely unsentimental and with a harshness that hides the most radiant and painful of scars, Elena Medel's The Wonders brings to life several generations of working women: it's a serene and impious novel that puts class, feminism, and the eternal complexity of family ties at the fore." -- Mariana Enriquez, author of Things We Lost in The Fire and the Booker Prize finalist The Dangers of Smoking in Bed "Reminds you of the audacity of Virginia Woolf . . . One of Spain's best poets has become one of its most important novelists." -- El País "María and Alicia, the protagonists, could be any of us . . . A narrative marvel." -- ABC Cultural "Addressing issues that are unprecedentedly current, Elena Medel has a new and distinctive voice as a novelist, and we can find in her prose many of her skills as a poet. We'll be talking about this novel for a while. And for all the right reasons." -- Publishers Weekly en Español "The author gifts us with characters that fly off the page. Masterfully written with a great sense of scenography and ritual . . . and the rhythm, the clarity, and the talent of knowing how to make a novel transcend its own thesis." -- Babelia en El País, "A mesmerizing read. Medel's prose is hypnotic--it's hard to believe this is her first novel. I was completely engrossed in this story, in the shadow each generation casts on the one that comes after it, in the tension between caring for oneself and caring for others." -- Avni Doshi, author of the Booker Prize finalist Burnt Sugar "A remarkable English-language debut . . . Arresting characterizations and vivid prose fuel Medel's searing look at the impact gender, class, and financial hardships have on working-class Spanish women's lives as the country is buffeted by wider cultural shifts. It adds up to a powerful story." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Prizewinning Spanish poet Medel's debut novel examines the lives of three generations of women in Madrid with an unsparing eye... The translation from Spanish of Medel's unvarnished look at three constrained lives is unsentimental and direct." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Medel's sensitive debut, charged with feminist insights but never losing sight of the particularities of its characters, weaves together the stories of two women whose deeper connection only becomes clear as the novel approaches its end . . . Spanish novelist Medel astutely examines the forces--political, economic, familial, and personal--that have shaped the two women's richly detailed lives. Though penned in by class and gender, often in ways they do not recognize, Maria and Alicia come across not as simple victims but as struggling survivors, still open to change." -- Booklist , starred review "I read The Wonders is one page-turning night.

Masterfully written with a great sense of scenography and ritual . . . and the rhythm, the clarity, and the talent of knowing how to make a novel transcend its own thesis." -- Babelia en El País, Bookseller Praise: "Readers will be swept away by the lyrical writing, memorable characters, and vivid settings in this family story of alienation, perseverance, and belonging that spans the past half-century of Spanish history and politics. Both intimate and expansive, universal and unique, The Wonders is a mesmerizing and transportive debut." -- ALYSSA RAYMOND, Copper Dog Books, Beverly, MA "A lyrical work that displays Medel's poetic sensibilities and puts a spotlight on the plight of working women everywhere, Medel's fiction debut The Wonders marks the entry of a new and exciting voice in international literature." -- BENNARD FAJARDO, Politics and Prose, Washington, DC " The Wonders is a novel to behold. The multi-generational relationship at the heart of the novel is a richly realized portrait of women grappling with the limits of female agency. Elena Medel (with translators Davis and Bunstead) pulls off the remarkable feat of recalling the best of Elena Ferrante while offering a bold new voice of her own. I can't wait to share The Wonders with our readers." -- LESLEY RAINS, City of Asylum Bookstore, Pittsburgh, PA Spanish Praise: "Reminds you of the audacity of Virginia Woolf . . . One of Spain's best poets has become one of its most important novelists." -- JAVIER RODRÍGUEZ MARCOS, El País "María and Alicia, the protagonists, could be any of us . . . A narrative marvel." -- INÉS MARTÍN RODRIGO, ABC Cultural "Addressing issues that are unprecedentedly current, Elena Medel has a new and distinctive voice as a novelist, and we can find in her prose many of her skills as a poet. We'll be talking about this novel for a while. And for all the right reasons." -- Publishers Weekly en Español "The author gifts us with characters that fly off the page. Masterfully written with a great sense of scenography and ritual . . . and the rhythm, the clarity, and the talent of knowing how to make a novel transcend its own thesis." -- CARLOS ZANÓN, Babelia en El País "The maturity and complexity of her early poetry books were intimidating. And enviously so . . . Elena has read everything and internalized everything with intelligence . . . She keeps her eyes open and knows that literature is a class-defying tool." -- MARTA SANZ "Very rarely do natural talents, linguistic discipline, and emotional rawness coincide. That is the case with Elena Medel, one of the great young poets of our language, whose first novel unfolds as a history of crude intimacies, subtle roughness, and luminous sadness, whose class consciousness displays moral force, stylistic precision, and narrative honesty." -- ANDRÉS NEUMAN, "A mesmerizing read. Medel's prose is hypnotic--it's hard to believe this is her first novel. I was completely engrossed in this story, in the shadow each generation casts on the one that comes after it, in the tension between caring for oneself and caring for others." -- Avni Doshi, author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted novel Burnt Sugar "Dreamlike yet precise, internal yet expansive, The Wonders moves between generations of women with a clear-eyed empathy for their struggles to be free. Medel's characters are hungry, angry, imperfect, and completely alive." -- Adrienne Celt, author of Invitation to a Bonfire and End of the World House "Completely unsentimental and with a harshness that hides the most radiant and painful of scars, Elena Medel's The Wonders brings to life several generations of working women: it's a serene and impious novel that puts class, feminism, and the eternal complexity of family ties at the fore." -- Mariana Enriquez, author of Things We Lost in The Fire and the Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed Spanish Praise: "Reminds you of the audacity of Virginia Woolf . . . One of Spain's best poets has become one of its most important novelists." -- El País "María and Alicia, the protagonists, could be any of us . . .

Medel makes room for her characters to grow into their power as women, a power they discover does not in fact lie in money." -- The New York Times Book Review " The Wonders is a poet''s novel, delicate but strong, impressing its images firmly on the imagination." --Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall "A poetic portrait of Spanish womanhood . . . The lives of two working-class women are interleaved in a bold debut novel with flashes of beauty." -- The Guardian "A mesmerizing read.

It adds up to a powerful story." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Medel captures the plight of working women who are limited by class and gender dynamics . . . Small acts of protest add up to each woman''s larger fight for freedom from the confines of men, money and everlasting grief . . . Though they have made mistakes and been lonely, they have survived. And that triumph they claim for themselves." --NPR "Prizewinning Spanish poet Medel''s debut novel examines the lives of three generations of women in Madrid with an unsparing eye... The translation from Spanish of Medel''s unvarnished look at three constrained lives is unsentimental and direct." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Medel''s sensitive debut, charged with feminist insights but never losing sight of the particularities of its characters, weaves together the stories of two women whose deeper connection only becomes clear as the novel approaches its end . . .
