About this listen

A captivating tale of love, secrets, and self-discovery set against the glamorous backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The Perfect Present is a festive and enchanting listen from Karen Swan, the bestselling author of Christmas at Tiffany's.

Laura Cunningham, haunted by her past, desires nothing more than to keep her world small and precise. But when Rob Blake walks into her jewellery studio and commissions a necklace to tell his enigmatic wife Cat's life story in charms, Laura finds herself drawn into their charmed world of lavender-scented air and wild, extravagant friends.

As Laura interviews Cat's family, friends, and former lovers, she begins to uncover secrets and passions that challenge her own quiet life. With each trinket added to the necklace, Laura's metamorphosis continues, forcing her to choose between who she is and who she wants to be.

In this captivating novel, Karen Swan weaves a tale of love, self-discovery, and the power of stories to change lives forever. Immerse yourself in the magic of The Perfect Present and enjoy more of Swan's enchanting seasonal tales with The Christmas Secret and Midnight in the Snow.

Having listened to several Karen Swan books and enjoyed Imogen Church’s reading of other novels I decided to give this a listen. The more I listened the more I struggled to switch this off, listening late into the night. I even looked forward to ironing as I couldn’t walk the dog further to listen to the story...

The prologue sets the scene for Laura and Lillie’s loss and it soon becomes clear that there is more of a mystery and that the main character is hiding something as she is asked to create the ‘perfect present’ for a clients wife. This is not the only secret and at times I felt on edge waiting for the inevitable to happen, but still desperate to know what would happen next. Not as predictable as I first thought, a well paced story.

Irresistible summer listen

Love Karen Swans book and loved Imogen Church narrating. The story had loads of twist and turns and Narrator made the story. Her voice was so lovely and relaxing and doing different characters she had it spot on.

Just Brilliant!!

I found the story took a little while for me to get into it and to become gripped but once I was there I listened to it whenever I could grab even just a chapter. The characters were an interesting lot and I found myself thinking about them when I was wasnt even reading the book. I loved Imogen as the narrator!

A fab festive story to listen to anytime anywhere
