20 June 2020: "Many of them seem past caring what is true or not, only desperate for some reason, some order to the rearrangement of their lives, even if it is brought about by a lie."
These lines from Kiran Millwood Hargrave's The Mercies--a book set in 16717 in a small Norwegian village in the aftermath of a disaster--jumped out at me as startlingly relevant in June 2020, as so much of the country seems determined to believe so much that is not true.
