Carino, Lou è un personaggio che mi piace e a cui torno volentieri solo che...
Solo che è pieno zeppo di luoghi comuni sul virus e sul periodo che stiamo vivendo. Tante frasi fatte a cui si alternano le vicende della famiglia di Lou.
Non so sarebbe stato più affascinante seguire Sam. Non dico altro onde evitare spoiler vari...

Racconto seppur breve molto carino e godibile. È stato quasi piacevole vedere come Louisa durante il lockdown abbia deciso di creare delle sfilate e dei vestiti per ogni vicino affinchè vivessero dei momenti più sereni in un periodo stressante. Questo gesto mi ha ricordato molto i canti che facevano gli italiani di pomeriggio per sentirsi meno soli e darsi sostegno a vicenda tra un balcone e un altro durante la prima ondata di Covid.

Good novella sequel, good to read during lockdown because it focuses on creating joy while in a dire situation.

Eine wunderbare Kurzgeschichte zu Lou im Lockdown. Die Geschichte stellt die allzu bekannten Gefühle wunderbar dar und bringt das in Schriftform, was ich selbst nicht fähig bin in Worte zu fassen.

Louisa Clarke’s story has always been one of my favourites, each instalment has made me laugh and cry & this one was no different.

For such a short story it made me feel all sorts of emotions, it made me miss my boyfriend so much? It’s been a long 12 weeks, but also made me feel there was hope at the end of all this.

Thank you for writing this, but now I need more of Lou and Sam

קצר, אנושי ומקסים. אהבתי את הדרך בה הצליחה הסופרת לתאר באופן מדויק את חוויית הסגר המוכר כל כך בפחות משישים עמודים.

I spent the 2020 lockdown on my own in a flat in a strange city, having just arrived at that city's Arts Centre as their artist in residence. Lou spent it in rather more challenging conditions - stuck at home with her parents, both of whom could drive anyone barmy. Lovely people, loving people, but to be stuck with them in a small house with no escape for weeks on end? Lou copes by making costumes for the local children, to wear on the weekly congratulatory claps to the NHS (an institution which, no doubt,would have preferred more funding to applause, but that's neither here nor there). It's a funny, touching, recognisable short story, that made me glad for the Arts Centre.
