Book Discussion: The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue

Join us for a discussion of New York Times bestselling novel, "The Pull of the Stars!"

Emma Donoghue, best known as the author of Room, has written another bestselling novel. This story takes place in a Dublin hospital maternity ward at the height of the Great Flu, in 1918. Three very different women, caring for maternity patients who have been stricken with the flu, learn things about themselves and each other while caring for their patients under overwhelming circumstances. We ask ourselves, what have we learned about ourselves during the COVID pandemic? How have we cared for and helped each other? 

Chosen as the Barnes & Noble Book Club choice for August, a Reader' Digest Book Club pick for September, an Australian Women's Weekly Book Club pick for August, and an Oprah Magazine pick for 28 of the Best Books to Transport You This Summer, Written by Women Around the World, The Pull of the Stars does not disappoint its readers. The fight against impossible odds, shows the tenderness and compassion still found in humanity.
