I may never let my daughter out of my sight again! The Lovely Bones reminds the reader again of the injustice that occurs even more often than it did in the '70's, the setting of this novel.
Told from the perspective of a 14-year-old, who was raped and murdered and now lives in her heaven, this narrative will stir your soul, your heart strings, and possibly even your tear glands.
While I am not sure that I agree with author Alice Sebold's view of heaven, I do agree that Heaven will be to each of us what we need it to be. For Susie, the murdered daughter, sister, friend, Heaven is her Heaven.
Caution to the reader: do not skip any words. Sebold drops clues...quietly foreshadows upcoming revelations, but if you missed the clue, your appreciation of this author will not be as great as it could be.
