The Pull Of The Stars

July 23, 2020 by 1 Comment


By Tom Deignan


Best-selling Irish born author Emma Donoghue

Best-Selling Dublin-born author Emma Donoghue has a brilliant and timely new novel out. Set in an Irish maternity ward during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, The Pull of the Stars explores the challenges and heroism of nurses and other health care workers, while at the same time tenderly chronicling the loves and losses of their inner lives. Tom Deignan speaks to Donoghue about this new book, Irish history, her Academy Award nomination (for the movie of her book Room), and her next Hollywood project.



Tom Deignan is an author, teacher, and columnist for the Irish Voice and Irish America (tdeignan.blogspot.com).

    What a terrific interview. Great questions and Emma has such an easy and animated way of conveying her works. Ordered the book and can’t wait to read. Thanks
