Tuesday, September 21, 2021: The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue (born in Dublin), ©2020, 305 pages. Set in war-ravaged Dublin in the midst of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, it focuses on Julia Power, a nurse in charge of a small ward (three at a time) whose patients are pregnant women who are showing symptoms of the flu. It takes place over only a few days and barely moves out of the room where nurse Julia Power cares for those who are pregnant and in quarantine. A timely book for our club!
Contact Kathleen McGuire at kathleen.mcguire06460@gmail.com with any questions.
Only 2 requirements to join Book Club:
1) read the book; 2) bring snacks to share!
