Last Christmas in Paris audiobook by Hazel Gaynor, Heather Webb

In the quiet hours of a lazy Sunday morning, I found myself transported to the heart-wrenching era of the First World War through the Last Christmas in Paris audiobook by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb. As I lay in bed, wrapped in cozy blankets, the soft narration by Alex Wyndham and Billie Fulford-Brown filled my ears, bringing to life a story that goes beyond mere historical facts.

The tale revolves around Evie and her brother, who, along with their friend Will, make a pact that they will celebrate Christmas together once the war is over. Little did they know that their plans would be shattered by the relentless continuation of the war. As Evie and Will exchange heartfelt letters during this tumultuous time, their bond grows stronger.

Years later, when Will finally returns home and reunites with Evie, he is met with an unexpected twist that leaves him shattered. The devastating effects of war become painfully evident as Will realizes how much has been taken from him. Last Christmas in Paris delves into a part of history that cannot be forgotten, shedding light on the hardships endured by those living in an era without modern communication devices.

The collaboration between Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb shines through in this masterpiece. Their writing captures not only the historical events but also the emotional journey of the characters. The narration by Derek Perkins, Mary Jane Wells, Gary Furlong, Antony Ferguson, and Alex Wyndham adds depth to each scene, immersing listeners into a world torn apart by war.
