Description
The Pull of the Stars is a powerful and moving novel set in a maternity ward during the Great Flu. In this intense and emotional story, Emma Donoghue explores the lives of three women - a nurse, a doctor, and a volunteer - who find themselves brought together in a small, understaffed hospital. As they navigate the challenges of caring for expectant mothers who have fallen ill, they also discover unexpected connections and transformations in each other's lives. A visceral and revelatory vision of life, death, and love in a time of pandemic, this novel is a stunning portrayal of the human experience.
