The Lovely Bones

“”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. — ASIN: 0316168815 | ISBN13: 9780316168816 | ISBN-13: 978-0316168816
