Illustrates yet another avenue of human suffering, in the form of disease, death and distancing.
The book itself is rife with crisp prose and gut-wrenching sentences. It ends on a melancholy note, contrasting the joy of those now free from the shackles of quarantine and loneliness of being torn away from loved ones, with the silent grief of survivors who return to an empty home forever barren of people held dear.
