With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants--some of whom have barely spoken to each other--become real neighbors. In this \u003cem\u003eDecameron\u003c\/em\u003e-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn't escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative, \u003cem\u003eFourteen Days\u003c\/em\u003e reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIncludes writing from: \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCharlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Joseph Cassara, Jennine Cap?
