<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Sebold's mesmerizing and luminous first novel--a #1 national bestseller--builds a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, and even joy, following an unspeakable tragedy. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973. <p/> 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, <i>The Lovely Bones</i> succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Ms. Sebold's achievements: her ability to capture both the ordinary and the extraordinary, the banal and the horrific, in lyrical, unsentimental prose; her instinctive understanding of the mathematics of love between parents and children; her gift for making palpable the dreams, regrets and unstilled hopes of one girl and one family." </br></br>"Set in a heaven as real and possible as the earth is mysterious and shifting, THE LOVELY BONES explores, with clear-eyed affection and wit, the romance of family life, the shy, funny turbulence of adolescence and the painful tracks love and loss make through our world." </br></br>"What a wonderful writer Alice Sebold is. Out of darkness she makes light, out of despair and violence, beauty, out of deep loss a peculiar, hard-won gain. All her characters, for good or ill, travel to surprising places and so do we, her extremely fortunate readers." <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Alice Sebold</b> is the bestselling author of <i>The Lovely Bones</i>, <i>The Almost Moon</i>, and <i>Lucky</i> a memoir. She lives in California with her husband, the novelist Glen David Gold.
