More about The Pull of the Stars from our review: “Julia Power works in Maternity/Fever, a supply room converted to handle pregnant women infected with the flu. In this video interview, the Irish-Canadian bestselling author, screenwriter, and playwright chats with Kirkus about the book (Little, Brown, July 21), which Kirkus calls, in a starred review, “Darkly compelling, illuminated by the light of compassion and tenderness: Donoghue’s best novel since Room.” She also discusses what it takes to write fiction based on actual events, what types of books you’ll find on her TBR, and more.
That The Pull of the Stars debuted during a global pandemic adds intrigue and delight to a story that succeeds mightily on its own merits.
For her latest novel, Emma Donoghue plumbed history’s depths… and pulled out a pandemic.
