Description:A moving, funny story of love & loss in a time of turmoil.The first novel set during Covid to be written and published in real time, as the events described in it were happening in the real world. Part grief memoir, part Covid chronicle, the novel tries to make sense, through the experiences of one family, of the world turned upside down that we have all lived through, and are still living through.Your wife dies. Your brother dies. Your best friend dies. Then Covid hits. What would you do? Matthew takes to his bed and refuses to leave until people stop dying. Or at least until he can make sense of what's going on out there.When not under the duvet, he sneaks out at dawn and drifts down the Thames in his red kayak, flirting with the dangerous white water by the nearby weir, before scampering back to his bed before anyone else is up. Or heads over to deliver food to his locked down parents. Or tries to maintain a connection with the woman who may be his future. It’s slow going, this quest for an escape route back from a kind of madness to a normal life. Especially when the normal life he had - and the normal world that we all lived in - no longer exists. Until his lost friend returns and sets him a mission.A story of our timePhil Dourado lost his wife, after he’d nursed her through a long illness, his brother and his best friend, all dying within weeks of each other. He then lost his grandchildren to the other side of the world and his father to dementia and confinement in a locked-down care home. The people he had loved seemed to be disappearing one by one. Then thousands began dying from Covid, while everyone - even those who hadn't lost a loved one - grieved the loss of normal life and connection in a locked down world. The last thing his best friend said to him before dying was, ‘You have a love story to tell, a tale of love and loss. Like Love in the Time of Cholera. You should write about it.’So, he did.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
