Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein
of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all
ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book -- a #1 bestseller
celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of
emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the
hearts of millions of readers around the world. My name was
Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I
was murdered on December 6, 1973. So begins the story of Susie
Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that
is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on
earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about
her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her
grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and
loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a
tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
Characters: 71. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
