Great to see this out - and in paperback! It’s a moving set of accounts of living through lockdown from the Mass Observers who kept thousands of Covid diaries. Nick has drawn out a set of crosscutting themes and topped and tailed them with insightful essays. Unmissable!

On this day in 2013, an artist called Audrey Amiss died alone in her south London flat, aged 79. She documented the last day of her life by pasting some food packaging into a scrapbook, and recording the things she noticed in her final hours.
