This month we're reading: "The Pull of the Stars" by Emma Donoghue.
Nurse Julia Power navigates an understaffed Dublin hospital during a dual crisis of war and the deadly flu pandemic. Over three intense days in a quarantined maternity ward, Julia is joined by Doctor Kathleen Lynn, a rumored Rebel, and Bridie Sweeney, a young volunteer. Together, they confront loss, deliver new life, and transform one another’s lives through acts of extraordinary care and resilience. Donoghue masterfully uncovers hope and humanity in the darkest of times in this compelling tale of survival.
