   Is 'the pull of the stars' based on a true story?

   • The year is 1918, and the illness, of course, is influenza. As Donoghue writes in an author’s note, “‘The Pull of the Stars’ is fiction pinned together with facts.” When the novel opens, the pandemic has left one Dublin hospital with “more than twice as many patients as usual and a quarter the staff.”

   How many pages are in the pull of the stars?

   • At 304 pages, and taking place over only 3 days, this book is something, and I mean something remarkable. The Pull of the Stars makes my second book I’ve read about the 1918 influenza pandemic in the last month. On a related note, Emma Donoghue began writing the book in 2018 for the 100 year anniversary of the pandemic.

   What happens in the pull of the stars?

   • Like “Room,” “The Pull of the Stars” takes place almost entirely in a single room and unfolds at the pace of a thriller. Over the course of three harrowing days in this “small square of the plague-ridden, war-weary world,” Julia dashes from patient to patient administering what little treatment there is: mostly whiskey and chloroform.
