Synopsis

Throughout her life, Claire S. Cabot has been fascinated with diarists. “Historians will give us the exact date of the battles and treaties but I want to know how ordinary citizens navigated through their day in any given time.” This love affair began when she was in college. “For example, the English author Samuel Pepys wrote about his experience of living through the plague in 1665 and the great London fire in 1666! The next diarist to catch my attention was Mary Chestnut, a South Carolinian who wrote about the Civil War from a Southerners point of view. Despite battles raging, she still managed to give and go to dinner parties!”

Claire contacted her many friends throughout the world and asked them to describe their experience of coping with the Corona Virus of 2020. “I have simply been the vessel for all of our thoughts. This book belongs as much to the contributors as it does to me…”

Anyone living through Covid-19 fatigue, this creative collaboration is an inspiring read. While it has taken us years to recover from the pandemic’s effects, the book demonstrates a key example of how we can share our experiences for future generations to come.
