The listing, " The Lovely Bones " By Alice Sebold has ended.
"My name was salmon, like the fish: first name, Susie. I was 14 when I was murdered in 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 speakable tragedy and loss, "The Lovely Bones" succeeds in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense and even joy.
