In April 2020, we invited writers in Quebec to submit a story of a single day during the strange, uneasy time of coronavirus and pandemic, of social distancing and self isolation, of lockdown and quarantine.
We’re thrilled to announce that these stories have been gathered in Chronicling the Days: Dispatches from a Pandemic (Guernica Press). To learn more and buy the book, please visit https://www.guernicaeditions.com/title/9781771836579.
Please also join us on the QWF FB Community page, and let the authors know if their words resonated.
This piece is by Gina Roitman, writing on Friday, April 3, 2020.

We live in the Lower Laurentians so are accustomed to isolation and working from home. That has not been a hardship. But we came back to Canada after five weeks in Spain and France, to a larder I allowed to go bare before leaving.
