The pull of the stars book5/22/2023 Birdie risked her life just to help these women and died as a result of catching the flu. This book really highlights just how hard nurses work and deserve a lot of recognition because of it. The nurses in both cases have put their lives on the line to look after others and to have survived even a day during one of these shifts is incredible. Although the story takes places over a 100 years ago, there are so many similarities to the Coronavirus. This book could not be more relevant to what is happening in society today. From the blood from the birth of a baby to the black of death in the last, these were all ingenious. Each chapter is a named a different colour depending on the stage of the flu but the fact that each colour is referenced in each chapter is brilliantly done too. The name of each chapter was a brilliant use too. The book is extremely fast paced and to have had shorter chapters would have made the book less gripping. I usually struggle with books that have long chapters where I can’t put the book down but the way it is laid out is so clever and works so well. The book is divided into four sections, each a stage of the Spanish Flu.
