As someone who regularly reads dystopian fiction, finding myself in the depths of a global pandemic while working and homeschooling two kids meant a very swift change of genre was needed. Instructions for the British People During The Emergency seemed like the perfect thing to read.
A quick and hilarious handbook for surviving an emergency. There is advice for how to survive looking after the children, working from home, and tips for when the emergency ends. I found the book to be spot on about how many of us are experiencing the current lockdown, with amusing suggestions for making things more bearable.
A short, sharp and humorous read. This book is a great pick me up when you’re in need of a good chuckle.
This is a perfect read for fans of Philomena Cunk; I could easily imagine her narrating this handbook.
