About this listen

Imagine, it's 1956 - over a decade since the war ended. You’re in London, and it’s the worst year of your life. Your wife left you, you're dirt poor, and your best friend just moved to Germany. This is the cruel reality of Edgar Carlisle, at least in his mind. Unknowingly suffering from moderate-stage Alzheimer’s disease, Edgar Carlisle ventures out on one crisp, winter morning for a mere sign of hope, but what he finds instead is something much more interesting.

Engaging short story

This is a beautiful, poignant short story. I cannot say any more than this as I do not want to give away any spoilers. The narrator was excellent, engaging myself, as the listener, with the story quickly. I look forward to hearing more from this author. Thank you for the listening pleasure and Merry Christmas.
