Sarah Dunant discusses living on a cusp of history.

Sarah Dunant reflects on how we can deal with 'this constant drumbeat of insecurity'.

A junk shop, a wooden chest, and some old newspapers from 1941 get Sarah Dunant pondering how we can deal with a world turned upside down.

"The last time the world shook", Sarah writes, "there was an element of learned resilience". But today, she believes, most of us don't have the benefit of that.
