   Jan 3, 2023 · The great triumph of The Pull of the Stars is Donoghue’s careful description of the minute-to-minute life of a nurse fighting to save the lives of her patients. It’s gruesome going at times, but the action is never less than gripping.

   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.”

   • At 304 pages, and taking place over only 3 days, this book is something, and I mean something remarkable.
