A schoolteacher counts oxygen levels and unanswered calls. A mother keeps cooking for a daughter far away. A young man dies alone in a foreign country, and a migrant worker walks 2,200 kilometres towards home. A teenager keeps a secret diary and learns what her mother's nagging really meant. Covid Diaries is a collection of stories about ordinary people in extraordinary fear. It is about the people we know from our own lives: the neighbour, the friend, the voice on the phone. Reading it, you may recognise someone. You may recognise yourself.
