📚✨ Queer Book Club: "The Pull of the Stars" by Emma Donoghue ✨📚
Join us for our next book club meeting as we dive into Emma Donoghue's powerful novel The Pull of the Stars!
Set in a maternity ward during the 1918 flu pandemic, Donoghue weaves a gripping tale of life, love, and survival against the backdrop of one of history's darkest times. The novel follows nurse Julia, who is tasked with caring for expectant mothers infected with the deadly virus. As she faces unimaginable challenges, she forms a bond with two unlikely allies, and together, they confront the devastating realities of the pandemic, all while navigating their own personal struggles.
In this meeting, we’ll discuss the novel's poignant themes, such as resilience, empathy, and the sacrifices made by healthcare workers, as well as how Donoghue brings historical events to life in such a vivid and compelling way. We'll also reflect on the unforgettable characters, their emotional journeys, and how the novel resonates with today's global health challenges.
🗓 Date: February 2
⏰ Time: 12:00PM-2:00PM
📍 Location: 44845 Cedar Ave, Lancaster, CA 93534
