About the Book: Fang Fang, an acclaimed Chinese author, has documented life in Wuhan, the original epicenter of Covid 19. It’s a strangely familiar tale, a tale we lived through both via distance, news cycle, and also personally, locked up in quarantine. With death toll rising she, and likely many of us, felt helpless, with nothing more to do but remain inside for as long a period as possible, to not become a carrier of the rogue virus, to not become a statistic.

My Opinion: This book hurt. For the history described in it isn’t over. We have new strains, there are people refusing the vaccine, numbers are again rising like crazy. You’d think we’d learn. Instead we get tired. Our masks slip under our noses, so to speak. Made me very upset to remember those first few months, seeing how we merely prolonged our suffering by not doing enough. But the book itself reads very well, very easily, and was appreciated.
