I Know My Name is an impressive thriller in which author C.J. Cooke employs two narrators. Eloise describes her ordeal on the small Greek island where she finds herself with absolutely no memories of how she got there or her life. Meanwhile, via alternating chapters, her husband, Lochlan, describes her sudden disappearance, his frantic attempts to discover her whereabouts and why she suddenly abandoned their home and young children, and his dealings with Eloise's grandparents who raised her. Lochlan also divulges secrets he kept from Eloise and the strains in their marriage that may or may not have contributed to her departure. Eloise struggles to remember who she is and, as bits and pieces of her memory gradually return to her, survive. As the pace of the two narratives steadily escalates until they merge, answers are revealed, and new questions about the future emerge. Cooke has constructed a taut, evenly-paced thriller that is full of plot twists, turns, and surprises, all of which lead to an emotionally satisfying conclusion.
