Barbara Norden - Souvenirs
Samantha finds herself in an unfamiliar world when she goes abroad to adopt two children. Stars Katherine Parkinson.
Samantha goes abroad to adopt two young children. Her guide, Jarilo Veles, acts as mediator with the director of the orphanage. But it is clear that nothing is straightforward in this world, and elements of fable and fantasy intrude in the story, which is told through the device of a recorded narrative Samantha is making for the children she plans to adopt.
