Quarantine

In the middle of the fourteenth century, a plague occurred throughout the world. This pestilence has since become known as the “Black Death.” It is estimated that 60 percent of Europe’s population died during the pestilence. During that period, a few books were written, the most famous of which were The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer and The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio. These books describe what was on the minds of healthy people who lived through it.

Quarantine is about eight people quarantined together at work because of our current situation, which at times mirrors the one suffered over six centuries ago and their views on what’s really happening in the world around them given the current pandemic or not so much a pandemic.

During the conversation, which at times gets heated, each, in turn, tells a story that they know about themselves or that they have heard.

Quarantine is a book which describes what’s on people’s minds during our time of upheaval and controversy while mixing in eight entertaining stories that everyone will enjoy reading.
