The Lovely Bones is the chilling and heartbreaking story of a young girl who was too innocent for her own good. Susie Salmon was murdered one day on her way home from school and is now telling the story of her new life from heaven.
Susie watches everyone on earth keep living their lives. She watches as her friends and family try to figure out what happened to her and her killer tries to cover his tracks. Susie's family is rapidly falling apart after her disappearance as they struggle to come to terms with what happened to their beloved daughter. Her father has frantically taken the investigation of Susie's murder upon himself in a desperate need to know the truth. Susie watches from above as her father uncovers clues to what happened that day she walked home from school.
Author Alice Seabold delivered a truly triumphant story that is both horrific and beautiful. I strongly recommend giving this a read.
