Lest you think you're alone when you feel like you've been hung upside down over a cliff with mask on, Lucy from this novel will be your companion. Feel free to listen to Lucy's thought every time she watches the news. "This will end, I kept thinking. This will have to end. And every night it did not end, or indicate in any way that it would ever end."
Reading about anxiety on catching the virus can sometimes trigger our anxiety. OK, that's not entirely true; I'm bringing this novel on my Thailand trip this week. Naming the emotion - whatever the hell that is - is actually a way to tackle it. Our family loves travel. As much as we don't want to catch the coronavirus, being on a plane and having a restful, restorative week can be a sensible, healthy thing to do.
Marvellous, eh? Trust me, it is.
