There will be lots of novels about the Covid pandemic. Already I've read at least a half dozen. But Michael Cunningham, with his luminous prose and profound insight into the human soul -- what makes us long to breathe and be seen (or not) -- has written a portrait of life between 2019 and 2021 that is so beautiful it transcends those years. It's a family portrait with characters you are going to worry about and wonder about long after you've finished this remarkable novel.
