How to Stop Time

Episode 10

BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, How to Stop Time, Episode 10

Written by Matt Haig and read by Tom Hollander. Who is the woman holding Tom at gunpoint?

Tom Hazard has a rare condition - he ages very, very slowly, with the result that, while he looks about 41, he is in fact over 400 years old. Over the centuries it has been a dangerous condition to have, so he has continually changed identities and moved from place to place. And he has travelled the world. Now, in a search for at least the pretence of normality, he has returned to London.

Episode Ten.
