For the next couple of podcasts, we’re going to try something different. We’re going to give you the chance to hear riveting excerpts from brand new audio books.

In this episode, we have a sample from Remembering the Bones, the latest novel from Frances Itani, the author of the highly acclaimed, award winning novel Deafening.

Remembering the Bones is a particularly intriguing story, since it all takes place inside the mind of Georgie, an 80 year old woman who has just gotten behind the wheel of her automobile to drive herself to the airport. Destination? England. She’s one of a select handful of individuals who have been invited to London to meet the Queen.

Georgie’s so distracted by mentally making sure that she hasn’t forgotten a single thing, that in a split second she loses control of her car, crashes through a guard rail, soars over the edge of a cliff and ends up at the bottom of a ravine.

The passage we are about to hear is narrated by Jackie Burroughs. Who better to bring life to such an intense inner drama than one of Canada’s most celebrated actresses?
