Description:
The Lovely Bones is the story of a gruesome murder —
a murder recounted by the teenage victim. The details of the crime are
laid out in the first few pages: from her vantage point in heaven, Susie
Salmon describes how she was confronted by the murderer one December
afternoon on her way home from school. We keep vigil with Susie, aching
for her grieving family, desperate for the killer to be found and punished.
Sebold creates
a heaven that's calm and comforting, a place whose residents can have
whatever they enjoyed when they were alive — and then some. But
Susie isn't ready to release her hold on life just yet.
