In Dublin, 1918, a maternity ward at the height of the Great Flu is
a small world of work, risk, death, and unlooked-for love, in
"Donoghue's best novel since Room" (Kirkus Reviews). In an Ireland
doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an
understaffed hospital in the city center, where expectant mothers
who have come down with the terrible new Flu are quarantined
together. Into Julia's regimented world step two outsiders--Doctor
Kathleen Lynn, a rumoured Rebel on the run from the police, and a
young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney. In the darkness and
intensity of this tiny ward, over three days, these women change
each other's lives in unexpected ways. They lose patients to this
baffling pandemic, but they also shepherd new life into a fearful
world. With tireless tenderness and humanity, carers and mothers
alike somehow do their impossible work. In The Pull of the Stars,
Emma Donoghue once again finds the light in the darkness in this
new classic of hope and survival against all odds.
