Alone, Together: Short stories written during lockdown

by Liz Jennings (Author) 

A woman leaves her house before dawn to attend an illegal hug-in in the woods; two neighbours conduct an argument using only a trumpet and a baby grand piano; a mother writes letters to her teenage son, who refuses to leave his bedroom; a nephew delivers groceries to the aunt he has always feared; a neighbour is caught hoarding toilet paper; a bride celebrates her wedding alone and six-year-old Gloria Hooper fills in her learning journal after a busy day of home-schooling…

Experience each moment of these characters’ and others’ lives as they cope with lockdown in their unique ways.

Written with warmth, humour and poignancy, Liz Jennings’ latest collection of short stories is a writer’s response to the vast range of emotions and situations that the nation has experienced alone, together.
