Not Forgetting the Whale by John Ironmonger
4.0

GOODREADS GIVEAWAY WIN.

John Ironmonger writes a thoughtful and hearteningly plausible tale lauding the community interactions that economics fails to capture, with - for the subject matter - an unusually large and charmingly incongruous dose of whimsy. Perhaps the most refreshingly humanistic take on a fictional global pandemic since Perfect Sense (wildly different creatures though they are).
