Once again I'd like to thank the author, Samantha Henthorn, for a free copy of her short story, Curmudgeon Avenue's #ManchesterLockdown, which I received when I signed up for her newsletter.

This story follows on from Book 5 The World Does Not Revolve Around Curmudgeon Avenue, which I very much enjoyed earlier this year.

The blurb:

The residents are nincompoops, the city is lockdown.

Will the street cope with the global pandemic?

The city of Manchester returned to lockdown because of Covid-19. Although a tragic and terrifying plight to be in, Curmudgeon Avenue's residents are still nincompoops. They start wearing face masks and acquired a corona-tan like the rest of us. This special novelette is for lovers of humorous fiction satire.

Short Stories Satire fiction

My thoughts:

Curmudgeon Avenue's #ManchesterLockdown is a novelette which picks up the story from The World Does Not Revolve Around Curmudgeon Avenue.

Wantha and Toonan seem unable to understand the rules of lockdown; Francesca is not coping at all well; Zandra Bennett is not only channelling Edith, she's turning into her; Patchouli still refuses to tell Wantha who her father is; and with a name like Gordon Bennett, he has to self-isolate.

The madness and mayhem continue in this brief look at the affect of lockdown on the residents of Curmudgeon Avenue.

I'm now eagerly awaiting Book 6 in this series A Curmudgeonly Christmas.
