In a country doubly ravaged by war and disease Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city centre where expectant mothers who have come down with the unfamiliar Spanish flu are quarantined together. Into Julia's regimented world step two outsiders: Doctor Kathleen Lynn on the run from the police and a young volunteer helper Bridie Sweeney. In the darkness and intensity of this tiny ward these women change each other's lives in unexpected ways.

In The Pull of the Stars Emma Donoghue tells an unforgettable and deeply moving story of love loss and the unbreakable bonds of friendship forged in the face of adversity.

A fascinating read in these difficult times.' - Booklist 'A visceral harrowing and revelatory vision of life death and love in a time of pandemic. This novel is stunning' - Emily St. John Mandel author of Station Eleven 'Reads like an episode of Call The Midwife set during a pandemic' - Mail on Sunday Guardian Cosmopolitan and Telegraph 's 'Books of the Year'
