Episode 4
Written by Matt Haig and read by Tom Hollander. In 1891, Tom travels to New York, where he meets the mysterious and charismatic Hendrich and learns about the Albatross Society.
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.
