Remembering the Bones

Best-selling author Frances Itani’s second novel is a beautifully written, moving tale of the staying power of family, memory, and the resonance of individual lives. Born on the exact same day as Queen Elizabeth II, Canadian Georgina Witley is invited to an exclusive eightieth birthday lunch at Buckingham Palace. Her journey is cut short, however, when her car plunges into a wooded ravine, leaving her injured and stranded. To survive, Georgina must rely on her no-nonsense wit and a childhood exercise of reciting the bones in her body. As she lies helpless, she reflects on her roles as daughter, mother, and widow, unearthing a lifetime of lost loves and painful secrets.
