Interesting book and review. But I think none of people can survive from hardenship during covid or with. They need to change their life style and careers and etc. If company, shop, mart and deliveries and restaurant keep to go normal ways, there might be uneasier for more people to survive from that horrible disaster. This is apocalypse.

What I read of the sample reading was captivating and well written. It looks like an interesting book and an intriguing take on recent historical events. I may consider reading it sometime down the road as I think too many of the events are still too fresh to thorough appreciate this novel. Thank you for the informative review.

It's a really interesting book and I think it really captures the current situation. I wonder how I'll feel 10 years from now reading the book and remembering what the last year was like. The review accurately describes the plot and setting of the story.

:techie-studyingbrown: It looks like a worth while read as the concept of the book and overcoming it resonates with the real world. As we went through the pandemic and still trying to get over it. Great review.

It's a pity the family got cut in the middle of all these disasters, but that is what life is about; sometimes bad things happen. Thanks for the insightful review.

I do commend the author for writing such an emotional and moving story. However, considering the traumatic times we are all going through, I wouldn't like to read this heavy read right now. Thanks for the recommendation though!

It's not every day that you see books that have won so many awards. This book seems very interesting and its medal pile is quite impressive as well. The fact that it deals with the average American also makes it quite relatable to many. I look forward to reading it. I also love the fact that it is said to have a strong emotional aspect. I love books that have an emotional touch to them. Great job by the author. Nice book cover too.

Home Again 2020 by Roberta M Roy encompasses a lot of emotions that the Matters family went through. I can relate to some of their experiences especially during the peak of Covid-19 Pandemic 2020. It seems like the author has put a lot of effort in to this book.
