THE CHEESEMAKER'S DAUGHTER

In thoughtful tones, Sophie Amoss narrates this insightful exploration of a woman's journey of self-discovery. Marina leaves war-torn Yugoslavia for America, hoping to find a better life. Years later, her father sends word that their family's cheese factory is failing. Marina leaves her dying marriage and her New York City life to return to Pag to help. She finds a divided country, where everything she once knew has changed. Amoss brings Marina and her plight into sharp focus. Her low-voiced performance adds necessary gravitas as Marina struggles between keeping the cheese factory viable and returning to her life in America. Amoss delivers cheesemaking details, the business rivalry with another cheesemaker, the harsh landscape of Pag, and Marina's inner struggle with quiet assurance.
