THE GIRL AT THE BORDER

Narrator Brittany Pressley delivers this oddly tangled story of archaeology, mystery, and hidden identities. Archaeologist Richard Mathis, who specializes in Etruscan culture, is portrayed in a smoky voice. His young assistant, Angela Chase, helps Richard unearth an Etruscan settlement on Crete. The pair stumble into an unanticipated affair. Pressley adopts a variety of husky voices for men and soft, emotive tones for women, both contrasting with her crisp delivery of narrative with minimal inflection. Both Richard and Angela have secrets to protect that slowly unfurl as the story progresses. Pressley's narration ultimately pulls together this convoluted story.
