With this book she has attempted to offer a vivid account of her encounters with life in forced confinement during the pandemic by featuring the highs, lows, some hilarious evocations of usual school days and anecdotes of vivacious memories which were both reassuring and tensing, leaving an overt impression of uncertainty in the matriculate’s mind.
