Lockdown Liaisons: Book 2: No Love Lost and Other Stories
As the world is shaken by a virus, Shobhaa De – a writer who understands the human heart and how it beats – felt the need to document not just what she is going through personally but what the entire world is experiencing. And out of this need emerged many unique narratives ... Lockdown Liaisons is a collection of short stories, from the varying perspectives of both men and women – young and old, brave and cowardly, cheerful and weighed down – each story an unique offering from a writer who understands how very fragile human relationships can be as they break, suffer and are redefined under trying circumstances. There is an exhausted woman who wishes her husband saw her as something more than an outlet for his sexual needs, there is a weaver in Benaras who has a magical relationship with his loom which changes as the lockdown proceeds and there is a young married couple who grow increasingly disenchanted with each other as the lockdown shows no signs of letting up. Read these stories and more, in this moving and relatable collection of love stories by Shobhaa De.

This is the second book I have read in this series.
2020,2021 and 2022 were the years that many people would like to forget. Almost everyone in this world lost someone they knew due to the pandemic. It will be a difficult experience to go through this book for some people due to these reasons.
The author focuses here more on love and what happened to relationships during the pandemic. The difficulties faced by older people due to the pandemic are beautifully described by the author
Like the first book, this book also gives you a decent reading experience.
