In the Palm by Elna Holst

4.0

And now for something completely different - I had no idea what to expect and really enjoyed the way the story unfolded. The story is told from the perspective of a woman washes up on a deserted island with no memory of who she is or how she got there. Obviously a doctor, she proceeds to cut off her infected hand (omigod ... what a way to start the book) with only a couple of airplane bottles of booze to dull the pain. Sounds odd? Well that's the first couple of pages ... it gets odder and I loved the fact that I had no freaking clue what was going to happen next.

This is a novella, so its short - but the story is pretty tight and the mystery of who the woman is and what unfolds keeps you glued to the pages.

Definitely recommend.
