The Sunday Play: H - a Hiroshima Story

on BBC Radio 3

Oda Makoto's novel weaves a web of relationships between the community surrounding the Nevada Desert Atomic Research Centre and the people of Hiroshima. The desert is also the sanctuary of an Indian tribe whose legend talks of the creation and destruction of the world. In a society gripped by war, young Indian Ron tries to listen to the message of the Spiderwoman.
