Normally I am not a great fan of this genre of books – fictionalised fact – but I was reading this particular book during times that were anything but normal – the coronavirus lockdown.

I had been looking for a book with some depth to it. I was fed up with heavy articles and books about suffering, and had also had enough of evangelical disputes about whether or not Covid-19 was a judgement of God (I agree with C.H. Spurgeon on that issue!).
