Samurai by Fatima Bhutto

An original short story for Radio 4, about a father and daughter in search of a home, written and read by Fatima Bhutto.

Acclaimed Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto reads her own specially commissioned story, Samurai, a poignant portrait of a father and child in exile, caught in the anonymous limbo of airport lounges as they are shunted from one country to another.
In an attempt to shield his daughter from the traumas of their ever-darkening predicament the father reminisces about the world they have left behind and quizzes her on what she would like to be when she grows up.
