Survival Of The Fittest

“Survival of the Fittest” by Khitisweri Krupaya tells the story of a tech-savvy girl navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown. The title aptly aligns with the storyline. With the immediate imposition of a nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus, travel between places became exceedingly difficult. Many individuals, separated from their families, found themselves constrained to stay in one place for an extended period. The book delves into the profound changes we all experienced during this time, addressing the mental and physical toll exacted by the pandemic on our well-being.

Elle faces the harsh realities of the pandemic alone in a different city, with each of her friends succumbing to the virus one by one, including herself. The narrative illustrates how these four close friends grapple with the consequences of coronavirus, showcasing their support, motivation, and efforts to bring joy to each other, even when physically apart.

I highly recommend this book to everyone who lived through the pandemic. Readers will undoubtedly connect with the author’s exploration of the challenges and changes we collectively faced.
