A woman leaves her house before dawn to attend an illegal hug-in in the woods; two neighbours conduct an argument using only a trumpet and a baby grand piano; a mother writes letters to her teenage son, who refuses to leave his bedroom; a nephew delivers groceries to the Aunt he has always feared; a neighbour is caught hoarding toilet paper; a bride celebrates her wedding alone, and six-year-old Gloria Hooper fills in her learning journal after a busy day of home-schooling…

Follow the lives of these characters and others as they each cope with lockdown in their own, unique ways.

Written with warmth, humour and poignancy, Liz Jennings’ latest collection of short stories is a writer’s response to the vast range of emotions and situations that the nation has experienced alone, together.
