There was only one thing going through Andrea’s mind back in January: getting through her pregnancy.

That changed shortly after her baby was born, and lockdowns started getting enforced.

In this wide ranging and positive conversation with Andrea, we discuss:

• The magic in studying old books and manuscripts

• How the lockdown means spending more quality time with her husband and newborn

• How her previous dealings with anxiety have helped her cope with the current times

• The different realities in Mexico City right now

• How different the experiences of our kids raised in a post pandemic world will be from our own

• The parallels between the current pandemic and that brought by European colonisers to North America in the 16th century

A wonderful chat!
