From the author of the international bestseller The Headmaster's Wife and other novels comes a collection of essays written during the Covid-19 pandemic. While the author sheltered in place in his tiny Vermont town, he observed and documented neighbors helping neighbors, the joys of gardening, a boy riding his bike, and walks in the park with his dog Hugo. Childhood memories and stories of family life are intertwined, and what the reader gains is a sense of community, family, and belonging. "An ideal collection for reading by the fire on a cold night." -Publishers Weekly
