House Arrest: Pandemic Diaries by Alan Bennett

A warm, witty and quietly reflective diary capturing everyday life during the COVID-19 pandemic through the distinctive observations of Alan Bennett.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of literature, memoir and writers capable of finding meaning and humour in ordinary life. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Alan Bennett, House Arrest: Pandemic Diaries records life during the COVID-19 pandemic through Bennett's observations of lockdown, disrupted routines and the strange details of an extraordinary period.

Personal experience and everyday moments sit alongside reflections on the world beyond his home, creating a diary that captures both an individual experience and a distinctive period in recent British social history.

An engaging choice for readers of diaries, memoirs, contemporary British writing and personal accounts of the pandemic years.
