About this listen

Escape to snowy Sweden this Christmas in the gorgeous novel from the author of The Oyster Catcher. Fans of Jill Mansell and Milly Johnson will love this unforgettable winter story from Jo Thomas.

Halley has been running from her problems for years.

On a courier trip to Tallfors, deep in Swedish Lapland, everything is going to plan. Halley has her bag, with two precious wedding rings inside for delivery... until she doesn't.

The only way to save the wedding is to team up with mysterious reindeer herder Bjorn, the one person who can lead her across the snowy tundra to be reunited with her bag.

On a journey of a lifetime beneath the stars, with only the reindeer and a bad-tempered stranger for company beside the fire, Halley realises that she will need to confront her past heartaches in order to let the warmth of love in once more...

Having read Winter Island by Jo Thomas and enjoyed it very much, I went straight on to this one because I love reading about snowy places. At first I thought it was going to be a bit too comic for my taste, but it turned into a good adventure with plenty to learn about Lapland and reindeer herding, and loads of romance thrown in too. That got a bit too much for me towards the end, but generally I really enjoyed this. I think the writer is very clever in the way she draws characters and storylines together to make a satisfying ending. The narration is absolutely superb, I couldn’t fault it in any way. A pleasure to listen to, and I can’t understand why Madeleine Leslay doesn’t narrate a lot more.

A good story with fabulous narration
