Books are known for providing us with some much needed escapism from our everyday lives. Whether it’s plunging into a fantasy novel on your daily commute or drifting off to sleep as you read a rich romance, books have the power to transport us to another time and place in just a few pages. In particular, this year has seen many people using written stories as a way to escape the mundanity of long days in lockdown.
