A wealthy and depressed man (thanks to the economy, he's not quite rich enough to expand his cache of paintings by Vincent Van Guy, the famed Dutch realist) bound for Christmas in the tropics is abruptly summoned home to North Dakota to visit an ailing aunt. He arrives just in time to be trapped there by a blizzard. The electricity goes out, and when it does, figures from his childhood appear, and historical figures too, for a festive candlelit holiday.

In his reverie, our man reaches an epiphany worthy of the season - he hears the harkening angels sing, he is awed by the silence of the night (dead quiet: not even TV), and when he is finally rescued, leaves North Dakota resolved to simplify his life.

“In this manic lead-up to Christmas Eve, Keillor exhibits his brilliance for drawing spon-on caricatures.” ( The Washington Post)

I have heard of the author but never read anything he’s written. Very funny, dry humour. A lovely Christmas story. Thanks to Audible offering this for free. I will definitely read more by this writer.

A new discovery for me

Brilliant. Witty and laugh out loud in places. Love how it goes off at a tangent … all the time. Will definitely listen to this again and try some more by the author.

Merry Christmas
