Salacious yet addictive, Regina Porter's The Rich People Have Gone Away is a wonderful way to spend a cozy afternoon in. What stood apart to me is how Porter embodies so many different COVID experiences all at once - the chef, the musician, the teenage student, the teacher, the interior designer, disgruntled Target employee, police and more. Porter floats in and out from story line to story line, almost as quickly as changing the frequency on a radio station, in search of the elusive truth - what happened to Darla? And yet, when the mystery is finally solved, there are even more uneasy questions raised.
