Monkeys in My Garden:
Reflections from a Life in Isolation is a daily journal written by a woman
hunkered down with her two pubescent sons in a farmhouse overrun by
monkeys.What must it be like for this woman separated from her husband and
locked down at her parental home, having to navigate through complicated
family dynamics, trying to create a positive bubble of existence for herself
and her children? In pointing out similarities between people’s reactions to
the present crisis and crises of the past, the writer shines a light on our
collective human nature. She reflects on how populist leaders around the
globe are mishandling the crisis in their respective nations. She reflects on
dealing with social isolation and loneliness and ways of overcoming the
destructive emotions they can stir.This book will give readers a sense of
comradeship: to get a glimpse into a single person’s experience will remind
every reader that, even if they’re living alone, they are not alone; we are
all in this together. We are all struggling with our own demons and also the
demon lurking at the gate.
