The pull of the stars review5/31/2023 Situated in Dublin in the depths of the Great War in 1918, Emma Donoghue presents a picture of a country in turmoil. It is a unique story that lingers long after the final page has been turned. The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue is a story of strength, private wars, public battles, resilience, survival, torment, loss, life and death. We had it no worse here than anywhere else self-pity was as useless as panic.’ Across the globe, in hundreds of languages, signs were going up urging people to cover their coughs. As far as I could tell, the whole world was a machine grinding to a halt. ‘Not just the hospital, I reminded myself- the whole of Dublin. With tireless tenderness and humanity, carers and mothers alike somehow do their impossible work. They lose patients to this baffling pandemic, but they also shepherd new life into a fearful world. In the darkness and intensity of this tiny ward, over three days, these women change each other’s lives in unexpected ways. Into Julia’s regimented world step two outsiders: Doctor Kathleen Lynn, on the run from the police, and a young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney. In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city centre, where expectant mothers who have come down with an unfamiliar Flu are quarantined together. From the international bestselling author of Room.

The midwich cuckoo book5/31/2023 Unlike the awful remake of The Stand, which took decent horror material and spun that into whatever the heck that disastrous series was, The Midwich Cuckoos actually feels pretty tonally satisfying without completely butchering the story along the way. If you can go into this with a fresh mindset and see this as a completely different proposition to what we’ve seen before, then it’s far easier to slip into without harking back to what’s come before. Gone are the similar-looking blonde-haired kids and similar looking facial expressions and instead, we’ve got ordinary kids and a much more grounded feel.īut is The Midwich Cuckoos worth watching despite those changes? Having watched all 7 episodes, I’d have to say it absolutely is. Just to preface this review, there will be people who jump all over this series and immediately write it off, classing it as “woke”, pointing out that a multicultural cast changes the way these kids have been portrayed in the past. For film buffs, you may recognize this from the big screen adaptations of ‘Village of the Damned’ from 1960 and then again in 1995.īefore you throw this one out as another half-arsed remake/requel/sequel though, this TV adaptation is a very different beast altogether, despite sharing the same hallmarks that made those that have come before so enjoyable. The Midwich Cuckoos is another remake, adapted from the 1957 novel of the same name.
