Indulge in the perfect winter's day treat and escape to the snow-fringed fjords of Norway with The Christmas Lights, a delicious tale full of drama and mystery, heartache and hope by Sunday Times bestseller Karen Swan.

Bo lives a life most people can only dream of. She and her boyfriend Zac are paid to travel the globe, sharing their adventures with their online followers. And when Zac proposes, Bo's happiness is complete.

With Christmas coming up, Bo can't wait to head to the snow-fringed fjords of Norway. Arriving at the picturesque and remote hillside farmhouse that will be their home for the next few weeks, Bo's determined to enjoy a romantic Christmas under the Northern Lights. Everything should be perfect.

But the mountains hold secrets from the past and as temperatures plunge and tensions rise, Bo must face up to the fact that a life which looks perfect to the outside world may not be the life she should be living . . .

Fabulous storyline

Intelligent, captivating story as always from Karen Swan. Intrigue and clever plot lines. Ive gone off novels that flick back between different time periods so was dubious that One of my favourite authors had done this but most of the the move, was set in the present day and small snippets from the past. I thought the book was well balanced.Another five star novel. Can’t wait for her n do one, you don’t evened need to listen to this at christmas. Very well narrated too.

Beautiful, brilliant story
