   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.
