About this listen

Rob and Karan are a great couple, but they're tearing apart under the pressures of modern life. They both work as paramedics for the NHS, and just before Christmas, their plans for the future are in jeopardy.

Rob knows he's on thin ice with the man he loves more than anyone else in the world, and he's at a loss to fix it. The job is getting tougher, and Karan, who's of Sikh descent, is facing violence on the streets in the wake of Britain's decision to leave the EU. Financial problems, hostile families on both sides.... Their troubles seem insoluble.

An emergency callout stops them on the brink of a final and heartbreaking row. In a forest on the bleak northern hills, Rob loses control of the van in the snow. The only gleam of light comes from a strange, lonely house among the trees. Lost, cut off from the world they know, can they find their way back to one another? It's the longest night of the year, and spirits are abroad among the pines....

Rob and Karan

I don't think I've ever given such a short story 5 stars, but this one deserves them all.
Hauntingly beautiful, poignant, and spine-tingling, but still a romance?Impossible but true!
Excellent narration by Tim Gilbert.

Not perfect, yet a good short story I listened to in 1 sitting.

I enjoyed this short story, however I found the voice of the characters leaves room for improvement- first I wasn’t sure if it was meant to be welsh , but no it’s meant to be Geordie. I listened to this in on sitting.
The ending felt a little rushed / could have been developed further to round off the story better.

A tale with a twist

This short story was mind blowing, tear inducing and thought provoking. Not afraid to tackle difficult situations or subjects.
The narrator did a wonderful job, loved the accents.
A true must
