Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city centre where pregnant women who have contracted the horrific new flu are confined together in an Ireland that has been devastated by both war and sickness. Two outsiders enter Julia's rigid world: youthful volunteer Bridie Sweeney and Doctor Kathleen Lynn, a suspected rebel on the run from the authorities.
Over the course of three days, amid the gloom and intensity of this little hospital, two women unexpectedly transform one other's lives. They guide new life into a terrifying world, but they also lose patients to this perplexing plague. Mothers and caretakers alike manage to do their daunting tasks with unwavering compassion and empathy.
In this brand-new classic about optimism and surviving against all odds, Emma Donoghue once again discovers the light in the darkness in The Pull of the Stars.
