The Blurb:
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 Buckinham 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.

I liked this book. I enjoyed this woman's life story and felt for her, all alone at the bottom of a ravine. I could even deal with not quite knowing what happened at the end.
