I'm not sure why I requested bro read this， but it was a good read all in all。I still feel like it would make a better movie than a book。At times it felt almost exhausting to read through and I didn't enjoy all the different characters and POVs。 That just felt like overload for me。 However the writing is good and if you can stomach breading about a pandemic， you should definitely give this a try。 I'm not sure why I requested bro read this， but it was a good read all in all。I still feel like it would make a better movie than a book。At times it felt almost exhausting to read through and I didn't enjoy all the different characters and POVs。 That just felt like overload for me。 However the writing is good and if you can stomach breading about a pandemic， you should definitely give this a try。 。。。more

I loved this book！ The idea of reading about an international pandemic during a lockdown doesn’t sound particularly tempting but it really helped me reflect on everything this past year has brought。 The author was writing before Covid hit but she has captured the shifts between emotions and ‘new normals’ remarkably well。 Ultimately， this is a story of despair， grief， resilience， hope and recovery。 The writing style makes it a joy to follow various different perspectives， some for just a short wi I loved this book！ The idea of reading about an international pandemic during a lockdown doesn’t sound particularly tempting but it really helped me reflect on everything this past year has brought。 The author was writing before Covid hit but she has captured the shifts between emotions and ‘new normals’ remarkably well。 Ultimately， this is a story of despair， grief， resilience， hope and recovery。 The writing style makes it a joy to follow various different perspectives， some for just a short window and others repeatedly throughout the book。 It also made me incredibly grateful that real international scientific efforts have been so rapid。 I fully recommend this read， just make sure you’re ready for some gut punches along the way。 。。。more

A pandemic book， written before the pandemic， this book does a great job of capturing the panic， exhaustion and confusion of an event like this， including the long search for a cure。The book tells the story of a virus that takes only men， causing the world to grieve， then shift to a new world centred on women。There are multiple stories at play here， with women from all over the world responding to their grief and to the call to serve a new purpose。 Sometimes there seems to be so many stories tha A pandemic book， written before the pandemic， this book does a great job of capturing the panic， exhaustion and confusion of an event like this， including the long search for a cure。The book tells the story of a virus that takes only men， causing the world to grieve， then shift to a new world centred on women。There are multiple stories at play here， with women from all over the world responding to their grief and to the call to serve a new purpose。 Sometimes there seems to be so many stories that it lessens the impact overall。The tension of the novel rises as the pandemic worsens， and it seems to hold this level of tension right the way through， rather than hitting peaks of tension。 This does leave the reader a little emotionally flat as there are no markers to guide our response to the story。Seen in the light of a real pandemic response， this is an accurate representation， but the vast character list and shifting perspectives leaves me a little disappointed with the outcome。 。。。more
