Each International Author created a unique view of what was happening on their part of the Earth.

I really found the personal stories the most effective. Didn't love the Political stories which tended to be extremely off-putting to those who don't believe the same viewpoint which is how I read things when reviewing for a wide general audience.

I think my favorite was the introspection of the author, Lynne Tillman. It struck me, like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, she tried to make each day interesting, however, after a while, it's all tedium day after day, unless when looking out windows or wandering the streets of New York.

Each essay was either creative writing- Poetry, photography, etc; personal experiences or stories that held your interest that related to their feelings and were expressed in a way that took you away from the tension, the extreme stress, fear, or boredom.

I think this book is worthy of being read if you need to commiserate and want great writing.

Thank you, Edelweiss+, Restless Books, and Ilan Stavans for the opportunity to see how other people were dealing with the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic in lieu of my honest review.
