Remembering the Bones: A Novel

Georgina Danforth Witley shares her birthday--April 21, 1926--with Queen Elizabeth II, a coincidence that has led to an invitation to a special 80th birthday lunch at Buckingham Palace. But Georgie has a car accident on her way to the airport, and she now lies injured in a ravine not far from her own home. Desperately hopeful that someone will find her, she relies on her strength, her family memories, her no-nonsense wit and a recitation of the names of the bones in her body--a long-forgotten exercise from childhood that reminds her she is still very much alive.
