Saturday Playhouse: The Lucky One

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Rosemary Davis's dramatisation of Lucy Ching's autobiography One of the Lucky Ones.

Canton, 1945. Lucy, a young blind girl, is hidden away at home because of the ancient belief that the eyes are the root of all evil, and blindness is a punishment for the sins of the ancestors. When, by chance, Lucy hears a radio broadcast, her fate begins to take a dramatic turn.
