A review by rebekahrahrah
The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue

3.0

Reading a novel set in a maternity ward during the influenza pandemic was maybe not the best choice of read while pregnant in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic... This aside, Donoghue's writing is always lovely but the plot felt rushed. I would have preferred this story to stretch out a little longer (selfishly), but I guess as with the nature of pandemics, you don't always get to make the choice on how long something lasts for.
