Other letters document the unforgettable lighter moments of the past year: interviews crashed by children, TikTok triumphs and disasters, and Goats joining Zoom meetings.

They wrote an open letter, wanting to understand other people's experiences of lockdown. Their question, 'What was lockdown like for you?' is the prompt; the collection of letters in response form the book. As we keep our fingers crossed that this summer will bring a safe end to restrictions, this mixture of funny, sad, heart-warming, surprising, heroic and honest experiences will mark the start of a period of reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdrian Packer, Al Gore, Alex George,  Alexandra Shulman,  Ali Mercer,  Alice M Greenwald,  Ali Joy,  Andy Murray,  Antony Cauvin,  Anushua Gupta,  Bear Gryll\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natasha Kaplinsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43174481559795,"sku":"9781526364364","price":16.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781526364364.jpg?v=1662065263","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/letters-from-lockdown-natasha-kaplinsky-9781526364364","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
