Elsie Arnold is a proper English woman. Only she’s not thoroughly English anymore. She’s lived in America’s heartland ever since she became a war bride in the 1940s. Nor is she exactly a woman – rather, she’s a fictional character created by David Cale. In this short story, he imagines the inner life of this feisty but mournful woman, finding her solitary way as the years pass by. Read by Jenny Sterlin. Produced by Emily Botein.
