Publisher's Synopsis
A young journalist uncovers untold stories during the COVID-19 pandemic
"As Covid swept across the globe, Taiwan remained one of the few places where the outbreak was kept under control. Nonetheless, the disease had a huge impact there, especially for young people. Laura Hsu, has compiled a record of the experience of living through Covid. Through her eyes, and those of others in her generation, we are given a fascinating insight into what it was like to cope with a frightening new disease that forced dramatic changes in the way people lived and studied. Her accounts from friends elsewhere in Asia, and in the United States, help complete this portrait of a generation facing a challenge unlike any other. Beyond the headlines, this account provides a sense of how Covid upended lives and forced young people to consider issues they had never really confronted before."
