Publisher's Synopsis
On 12 January, less than three months ago, the coronavirus was confined to China only. But by 13 January, the virus became a global problem. Cases were reported from South Korea, Japan, and Thailand. Soon the US followed. And slowly the numbers swelled across the globe, and it turned into a pandemic.
A work four years in the making, Queen Corona Coronation is a poignant attempt to document the COVID-19 pandemic that sent ripples across the entire world. From the ever-increasing tally of new cases and new deaths to the ever-changing, ever-inconsistent guidance for keeping safe, to the ever-elusive hunt for a vaccine, these memoirs offer a unique perspective, chronicling the monotony, fear and uncertainty that gripped the entire world. Recounting both life under lockdown and the realities of life at sea in a slowly recovering world, the author paints a stark picture of dread, isolation and, above all, hope in an unprecedented time.
