Book at Bedtime - The Still Point - Episode 3

Emma Fielding reads from Amy Sackville's debut novel about true courage and enduring love, in which the lives of two couples, living a hundred years apart, collide unexpectedly one summer's day. Leaving Emily in Norway, Edward finally sets out for the Pole and, after months of journeying, reaches solid ice. They celebrate Christmas 1899 Arctic-style, complete with roast reindeer and plum pudding. Back in England, the young Emily is celebrating a very different Christmas meal with her new brother- and sister-in-law. Abridged by Sally Marmion Produced by Justine Willett.
