This is a book about Covid-19 as it happened, with all the fear,
horror, losses, grief, chaos, revelations, frustrations and sheer
heroism. It is also a book about the future - what we learned and
didn't learn; what we hoped for when the lockdowns eased and we
could believe there could be a future. It is a vivid, sometimes
distressing, often uplifting and powerfully moving account of a
nation's journey through a nightmare, told in the words of
individuals describing their own and others' experiences and how
they and their families and communities coped. We hear stories from
many perspectives: the bereaved; the frontline workers; those still
battling the long and disabling tail of the virus; the marginalised
and vulnerable; the children and young people. These are voices
that are rarely heard, talking of small acts of generosity,
courage, private suffering and quiet endurance. Alongside, expert
commentaries draw the themes together and offer further reading and
resources. So many of us swore we would learn from the pandemic.
This book will help us do so.
