About this listen

This Christmas, sprinkle some Cecelia Ahern magic in your life.

If you could wish for one gift this Christmas, what would it be?

Lou Suffern wishes he could be in two places at once. His constant battle with the clock is a sensitive issue with his wife and family.

Gabe wishes he was somewhere warm. When Lou invites Gabe, a homeless man who sits outside his office, into the building and into his life, Lou’s world is changed beyond all measure…

An enchanting and thoughtful Christmas story that speaks to all of us abut the value of time and what is truly important in life.

I found this book slow to start and almost returned it but thankfully it got better and I did enjoy it . The story is a little old and probably a bit predictable but don’t let that put you off

Not so much a Christmas cracker

I read the paperback years ago and loved it then. just finished the audio book and still in love with it now. So touching and emotional and true. I could read or listen to this again. There's one thing I still do question and that is who on earth was Gabe? A strange and powerful character who fel lt so real. All of the characters in this book were well fleshed out. I adore Cecelia's work. She has a way of showing life and presenting ideas in such a clever and thought-provoking way. Narration was excellent too, loved the voices.
I wish this was a movie.

Still Love this story

I must admit that halfway through I was getting very annoyed with Lou and couldn’t really see where it was going, but stick with it the end or towards the end it gets better and better, and deep thinking is triggered!

A thinking book!
