The Lovely Bones

by Alice Sebold
$8.90
The Lovely Bones
The Lovely Bones

Gripping afterlife tale of tragedy and hope.

"The Lovely Bones" is a surprisingly comforting read despite its dark beginning. If you've ever pondered on the afterlife or the resilience of the human spirit after a loss, Alice Sebold's narrative offers a deeply personal and imaginative perspective. It's as much about the living moving on as it is about the departed watching over them. Susie Salmon's story invites us into her world with warmth, making the book feel like a bittersweet blend of sorrow, solace, and ultimately, peace.

Description

My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. My murderer was a man from our neighborhood. My mother liked his border flowers, and my father talked to him once about fertilizer. This is Susie Salmon, speaking from heaven - which looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets, counsellors to help newcomers adjust, and friends to room with. Everything Susie wants appears as soon as she thinks of it - except the one thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on earth. Watching from her place in heaven, Susie sees her happy, suburban family devastated by her death, isolated even from one another as they each try to cope with their terrible loss alone. Over the years, her friends and siblings grow up, fall in love, do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But life is not quite finished with Susie yet ...
