Bol
A haunting and heartbreaking novel narrated from heaven as a young girl watches over her family and killer. My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. In heaven, Susie Salmon can have whatever she wishes for - except what she most wants, which is to be back with the people she loved on earth. In the wake of her murder, Susie watches as her happy suburban family is torn apart by grief; as her friends grow up, fall in love, and do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But as Susie will come to realize, even in death, life is not quite out of reach . . . A luminous, astonishing novel about life and death, memory and forgetting, and finding light in the darkest places, The Lovely Bones became an instant classic when it was first published in 2002. There are now over ten million copies in print. 'Compulsive enough to read in a single sitting, brilliantly intelligent, elegantly constructed and ultimately intriguing' The Times 'Takes the stuff of terrible tragedy and transforms it into something hopeful and redemptive' Daily Mail A haunting and heartbreaking novel narrated from heaven as a young girl watches over her family and killer.My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie.
