The Pull Of The Stars
Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Stated first edition. Mylar cover included.
“Cover up each cough or sneeze…Fools and traitors spread disease.”
In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in a city 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 rumored Rebel on the run from the police, and a young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney.
In the darkness and intensity of the 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 classic of hope and survival against all odds.
