From Publishers Weekly

A macabre setup makes for a surprisingly moving read in Canadian writer Itani's second novel to be published in the U.S. (after Deafening). Ottawa born and bred octogenarian Georgie Danforth Whitley has always noted similarities—including their birth dates—between herself and Queen Elizabeth, whom she privately imagines as Lilibet, a kind of parallel life-mate. A serendipitous invitation to enjoy a birthday lunch with the queen in London gives Georgie a rare opportunity to experience independence from her 103-year-old mother and her 50-something daughter. However, a momentary distraction on the drive to the airport ends with Georgie's car falling to the bottom of a ravine—with no one, except maybe Lilibet, knowing she is missing. Minutes turn into days with a wounded Georgie flashing back to pivotal (and not-so-pivotal) moments in her past as she attempts to crawl to her car. The narrative gathers momentum as Georgie's plight becomes increasingly dire and she searches through her catalogue of memories for a measure of her life's worth. The ending, with its potential for melodrama, is expertly played; throughout, Itani handles her tension-fraught material with a precise, light touch. (Jan.)

This review is from: Remembering The Bones (Hardcover)
This is a lovely gentle book in which you meet Georgie, both in the present and in the past. Georgie, who shares a birthday with the Queen, has been invited to England to join in a celebration of the Queen's (and her own) 80th birthday, but on the way to the airport, Georgie has a serious car accident and relives her past, as she awaits rescue. I liked Frances's gentle description of Georgie's life, I loved Georgie's changes of attitude in her fight for survival in the ravine. As to the ending, I have chosen how I will interpret that! I hope other readers enjoyed this book as much as I did!

4.0étoiles sur 5 I, too, see the ending differently!, Janv. 10 2009

This review is from: Remembering The Bones (Paperback)
Better than I thought it would be. Straightforward and lyrical at the same time. It takes you on one woman's (Georgie Danforth) personal journey as told by her as she lies in a ravine as a result of a car accident. Funny, heartwarming ( a couple of sections made me teary-eyed: the yellow roses and the 'blue shawl') and devastating. I choose to reinterpret the ending, as well. The option with which most will immediately conclude (as Itani probably intended) is unforgivable! My interpretation makes sense and is far more respectful to the character Georgie Danforth and the reader.
