The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue





Short overview about this book :

In Dublin, 1918, a maternity ward at the height of the Great Flu is a small world of work, risk, death, and unlooked-for love, in "Donoghue's best novel since Room" (Kirkus Reviews).

In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city center, where expectant mothers who have come down with the terrible new Flu are quarantined together. Into Julia's regimented world step two outsiders—Doctor Kathleen Lynn, a rumoured Rebel on the run from the police, and a young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney.

In the darkness and intensity of this tiny ward, over three days, these women change each other's lives in unexpected ways. They lose patients to this baffling pandemic, but they also shepherd new life into a fearful world. With tireless tenderness and humanity, carers and mothers alike somehow do their impossible work.

In The Pull of the Stars, Emma Donoghue once again finds the light in the darkness in this new classic of hope and survival against all odds..

For every man who thinks childbirth is easy and women go out out in the fields and drop babies like nothing and go right back to work, this should be required reading. By God, what these women went through in the early 1900's in Dublin would make you never want a second one let alone a twelfth. I almost literally threw up.

This lovely written book connects on a number of levels. It is written about the big flu epidemic in 1918 but could have easily taken place today in the Corona Virus outbreak. In fact much of the advice given for prevention is the same- wash your hands, avoid people, wait for it to pass. The hospital is short staffed because so many have died or sick. Young nurse, Julia Power, is thrown into running a ward of expectant mothers who have the flu single handily. She is given the help of a young girl from the convent with absolutely no experience, Birdie, to help her.

So the story deals with the expectant mothers and the flu and then more layers are added. Power has a young brother, Tim, badly mentally damaged from the war. There is also the layer of the Irish having definite opinions about fighting for their oppressors, the English, and division in the country over this. Added to this is Dr. Kathleen Lynn working in desperate situations at the hospital badly in need of doctors, even female ones. The problem is the Dublin police are trying to arrest her as she was a major player in the Sinn Fein. She is a real person.

Birdie is a ward of the Catholic Church and I used to be angry at the men of the Church but it turns out the nuns were no picnic either. How did people get so mean and awful to the people they are supposed to be taking care of? Birdie's story brought tears to my eyes so many times. It's so hard to imagine a 8 year old child hung from her hair bun on a coat rack for the great sin of having red hair? This is the tip of the iceberg.

This was far from an easy story to read. It broke my heart in so many ways but it is so lovingly written and so important. We can't forget our pasts or we are doomed to repeat them. Oh wait, we are. It is so sad that we progressed so little. A thought provoking book that will haunt you for days to come.
