Billed a s novel, but each chapter is a standalone narrative with links to the others. They tell the story of an apocalyptic pandemic over time. One of those books that feels like it's able to speak to the trauma of the pandemic, both in its acute stage and it's transformational stage. 

Beautiful writing.
