Ten minutes with... is a special series presented by Coode Street that sees readers and booklovers from around the world talk about what they're reading right now and what's getting them through these difficult times.

All the way from Barbados, multiple award-winning author Karen Lord chats with Gary about how the lockdown is affecting life there, how the whole worldwide experience is liking moving into a new country where you don’t quite know all the rules, what reading to return to in such times, and her own new story "The Plague Doctors” (and discussion of the story) from the free anthology, Take Us to a Better Place: Stories.
