A festive ghost story with a beautiful premise

What did you like most about The Last Gift?

I enjoyed the story because, like all good ghost stories, there is an emphasis on people dealing with inexplicable things, often including stong emotions. I really loved Sarah Naughton's first novel 'Tattletale' so it was a pleasant surprise to discover this short story for Christmas.

Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Bower’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is my first Elizabeth Bowers performance.
