In Solitude: Thoughts and feelings of an 11 year old during the coronavirus pandemic
Apala Banerjee, author

Before the December of 2019, no one knew of COVID-19. No one knew how this tiny virus, somewhere in China, would turn the world upside down. No one knew that COVID-19 would claim the lives of several hundred thousand people worldwide. No one knew that COVID-19 would prevent people of the entire world from setting foot outside their homes. It was a tiny virus that disrupted the world.
I sat at home, during shelter in place, while the news caused earthquakes in my head every time the TV was on. My rushing, quick-paced life was halted without warning. It was like there was a bottomless pit in my path. I couldn't fathom anything; my mind was a blizzard of questions. During these moments of "self-reflection", I penned a few lines daily. It grew into this book.
Readers, I hope you like my book: In Solitude.
