At the time of the Covid-19 epidemic, a very good book to read. I felt the pain and helplessness on the citizens of this Algerian town.
A great and relevant read about what happens when we are complacent in the face of great danger.
“Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.”
A beautiful story about the nature of humans and the power of community. I had this book on my TBR for the longest time, thinking it would be a slow difficult read. It was neither. Surprisingly accesible and entertaining, narrating on the surface the story of a french town invaded by bubonic plague. Very reminiscent of the current covid situation.
