As Covid-19 was spreading across the planet like wildfire, Barbara Duriau was creating the Facebook group View from My Window. The idea was to bring together people confined in lockdown all over the world. From their windows, Barbara asked them to capture their views and share them. It was an instant smash hit. One month later, more than 2 million members has joined the group worldwide. View from my Window is a book unlike any other. From New York to Moscow, from Brussels to Mumbai, from Sydney to Sao Paulo; the photos are extraordinary and the original stories that go with them are touching, funny and insightful. Tune into the heartbeat of humanity at a unique time in its existence. It is the story of a whole community.
