The best-selling author of Room and The Wonder EDonoghueWriter tells us about her latest novel The Pull of the Stars, set in a maternity ward in Dublin 1918 during the Great Flu:

As the neutral pronouns they/them start to enter the public consciousness, so too has the idea of gender-neutral parenting. Sarah Davies is a new mum to baby Quinn and talks about her experience of practicing gender-neutrality in a highly gendered society.

Marks & Spencer has said 950 jobs are at risk as part of plans to reduce store management and head office roles. It was already undergoing a transformation that included cutting costs and closing some stores. Job losses have already been announced at John Lewis, Boots and Debenhams. Jobs at Oasis and Warehouse went in April. So many of these shop-floor, customer-facing jobs are done by women.

Emma Donoghue, the author of the international bestseller Room, has set her latest novel The Pull of the Stars in Dublin in a maternity ward in 1918 at the height of the Great Flu. She explores the lives of a nurse, a volunteer and a doctor on the run, over the course of three days. She tells Jane why she’s mixed fictional with real characters.

When Anna Wilson’s father, the man who has calmed her mother for over 40 years, becomes ill with cancer, things become extremely difficult. Her mother has always been ‘a little eccentric’ but in her seventies she becomes increasingly anxious and manic.

EDonoghueWriter How about inviting Dr. Judy Mikovits , PHD, onto the programme to discuss her book, Plague of Corruption. With the Covid-19 hoax underway and forced vaccination on the horizon, I think your listeners would find it quite an eye-opener.

EDonoghueWriter Oh I shall look out for that. Room & The Wonder were such amazing reads I can’t wait for this one EDonoghueWriter 🤗
