[Jeff Sexton]

Real Life Disaster Movie Memoir. This is one of those memoirs from someone who was "on the ground" at an event that so very many of us have lived through and with, and thus someone whose experiences are at least worth exploring. That noted, Almand and her husband are both 70 ish yr old seniors with comorbidities (including Type 1 Diabetes in her husband) that make them more susceptible to COVID-19, and this does in fact inform much of her own thoughts on the issue. Still, as a memoir of a sort of Gilligan's Island - where they went out expecting one thing and got something dramatically different that cast them into a survival situation - this is quite remarkable. From being at Mardi Gras 2020 to being at some of the last NBA games to be played outside the "bubbles" to piecing together where to go in light of confusing, conflicting, and scant data to the various experiences of coming to terms with the new life and reality, this is truly an interesting memoir. Recommended.
