I read this in a day, and it's a long time since I've done that! Amazing character-driven book flashing to and fro in time between the dystopian post-pandemic world to the previous days, interweaving the stories of a diverse cast of characters. Some bits were a bit close to home - at one point I literally had to walk away, because what if Covid-19 was like this? Horrible as it is, it could have been so much worse. The language was beautiful; the connections between the characters didn't seem contrived at all; the whole thing was haunting. I will be thinking about this book for a long time.
