A book about isolation during the COVID era. Small stories through which the reader can experience different aspects of the pandemic.
When the world stood still, silence gave birth to stories. This short story collection takes the reader back to a time when doors closed, but life went on – lonely, touching, sometimes absurd. The 19 stories paint intimate portraits of people seeking connection in distance, struggling through change, and finding hope in everyday moments. *Echoes of Isolation* captures what the statistics never could: how it truly felt.
