9.25.2021 - Voices from the Pandemic

Voices from the Pandemic by Eli Saslow 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this amazing story compilation by Pulitzer Prize winner journalist, Eli Saslow - 5 stars.

This is the story of our country's battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, told through the voices of a cross-section of people.  We read about the struggles of the doctors and nurses on the front line, those struggling to breathe, the school personnel faced with no-win situations.  Since everything coincided to make this fight so political, we also get both sides of the battle - the people being evicted from their apartments and the landlords evicting them.  The deniers, the believers.

This is a vitally important look back over this pandemic from the beginning to the vaccines, from despair to hope.  Of course, the story isn't over as we struggle with variants and mandates, but this is a book that should be read by everyone.  Highly recommended!
