Description

Sebold takes an impossible idea and pulls it off. In the first chapter, 14-year-old Susie Salmon recounts her rape and murder by a neighbor. The rest of the novel, spanning nearly 20 years, is narrated by Susie, from heaven. The Lovely Bones is a dazzling, original, magnificent first novel -- in the rich tradition of Alice Hoffman and Alice McDermott -- that builds out of a family's grief the most hopeful and joyful of stories. In the sweet, untroubled voice of a precocious teenage girl, Susie relates the awful events of her death, and her own adjustment to the strange new place in which she finds herself. With love, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie watches her family as they cope with their grief -- her father embarks on a search for the killer, her sister undertakes a feat of amazing daring, her little brother builds a fort in her honor -- and begin the difficult process of healing. In the hands of a brilliant new novelist, and through the eyes of her winning young heroine, this story of seemingly unbearable tragedy is transformed into a suspenseful, touching, even funny novel about family, memory, love, heaven, and living.
