Perpetual Lockdown
Sara Wheeler reflects on lockdown for her brother - profoundly learning disabled - and others like him.
Books, she writes, "teach us that my brother's isolation and society's inability to embrace him as he deserves to be embraced have always been with us."
But she wonders if, in these times, books can also teach us to be kind.
