One Day in April will be a searing portrait of a broken Britain through the eyes of one of its leading foreign correspondents. When the pandemic hit, Christina Lamb could no longer cover her normal beats in Iraq and Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria or Syria. Staying home, she was dismayed at what she saw.
Behind the neighbourhood WhatsApp group, the VE Day street parties and the Clap for Carers of lockdown, Christina Lamb discovers a nation at war with itself, in denial at becoming a shadow of its former greatness, and struggling against many of the very problems she reports on in troubled lands overseas.
Like a modern-day Road to Wigan Pier, this book will be part polemic, part reportage, written with honesty, anger and humanity. With her remarkable gift for storytelling, Lamb will use the stories of those trying to survive the worst day of the worst crisis in living memory to try to understand how this has happened and what needs to change.
