Após a primeira semana de isolamento durante a pandemia de covid-19, os moradores de um prédio em Nova York começam a se reunir no terraço, ao ar livre e mantendo o distanciamento social, para contar histórias. A cada noite, mais vizinhos se juntam à fogueira metafórica, cada qual trazendo suas banquetas, poltronas e cadeiras. Aos poucos, eles — alguns até então completos estranhos — descobrem mais uns sobre os outros e sobre si mesmos, e principalmente sobre a natureza da vida e da morte. Neste romance inspirado pelo clássico Decamerão, os organizadores Margaret Atwood e Douglas Preston se unem a uma lista estrelada de colaboradores para criar uma belíssima ode às pessoas que não puderam escapar para lugares melhores durante a pandemia. Em uma narrativa misteriosa, reconfortante e surpreendente, Catorze dias revela como, mesmo sofrendo tantas perdas, algumas comunidades ainda são capazes de resistir e se fortalecer. "Uma façanha impressionante." — The Guardian "Uma cápsula do tempo retratando a necessidade humana por conexão durante a pandemia." — NPR Um prédio em Manhattan, um elenco heterogêneo de personagens, uma pandemia: este é o cenário de Catorze dias, um romance diferente de tudo que você já leu. Nos primeiros dias de isolamento social devido à pandemia de covid-19, uma nova zeladora é contratada para trabalhar em um prédio caindo aos pedaços no Lower East Side, em Nova York. Em busca de um respiro, ela passa a utilizar o espaço aberto do terraço e, com o tempo, os outros moradores fazem o mesmo. Assim começa uma surpreendente tapeçaria de histórias, em que cada nova voz que se une ao trágico coro dos isolados é completamente diferente da anterior — afinal, foram escritas pelos mais diversos autores. Com a colaboração de ilustres nomes da ficção, de todos os gêneros e tradições, como John Grisham, Emma Donoghue, Tommy Orange, Diana Gabaldon e R. L. Stine em projeto da Authors Guild of America, Catorze dias é uma experiência literária única, uma jornada pela arte ancestral de contar histórias e uma homenagem ao poder da união, mesmo — e em especial — nas mais trágicas circunstâncias.
