Viruses and Volcanoes

Viruses and Volcanoes tells the story of the author's Covid-19 experience through a series of journals that she kept during lockdown and beyond. It is written from the perspective of a grandmother, mother, and wife to a husband with a newly diagnosed serious lung condition who fell into the so-called "very vulnerable" or "shielded" category. It takes the reader through the shock and strangeness of the early days of the pandemic, the emotional roller coaster of the prolonged lockdown and the gradual adaptation to the new normal. After the first lockdown the author and her husband relocated to the Caribbean, and the tale continues on the other side of the Atlantic.
