She sat, not reading, not thinking, waiting for something to happen. All she found was a small flame of fear for her family and sadness for the one on the screen. But the first was real, and the second was like the image of sadness. It had the same reality as celebrities on the news.
Hannah is stuck in the middle of a deadly outbreak. As Sydney goes into lockdown, she attempts to quarantine her home and protect her family from the ominous infection around them. How far will a panicked mother go to keep her loved ones safe? In An Ordinary Epidemic, fear and compassion collide as Hannah, Sean, and their two boys struggle to survive. A riveting, topical novel from a new voice in Australian writing.
“It’s utterly fascinating, a little gruesome, and impossible to put down”
