The Pull of the Stars
The Pull of the Stars is a 2020 novel by Irish novelist Emma Donoghue first published by Little, Brown and by Picador in the UK.[1][2][3] The novel was written in 2018-2019, and published earlier than originally planned because it was set in the 1918 influenza pandemic in Dublin, Ireland. All the characters were fictional except Dr Kathleen Lynn.[4] The novel received strongly positive reviews from critics[5] and was longlisted for the Giller Prize in 2020.[6]
