Literary narrator: Natalie

Literary narrator, cool, restrained, and elegant

Prompt: A cool, refined New England female voice for literary fiction. Her clear mid-register is restrained and precise, carrying quiet Yankee reserve, immersive and elegant. There's a we-do-not-discuss-such-things restraint in her tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a seaside town's silences louder than any confession.

Script: In our family, we did not speak of feelings. Or money. Or the reason Aunt Margaret had not set foot in the house since 1971. These things were simply understood, absorbed like the salt air, passed down without a single word ever being said aloud.
