The Lovely Bones is the story of a family devastated by a gruesome murder -- a murder recounted by the teenage victim. Upsetting, you say? Remarkably, first-time novelist Alice Sebold takes this difficult material and delivers a compelling and accomplished exploration of a fractured family's need for peace and closure.
The details of the crime are laid out in the first few pages: from her vantage point in heaven, Susie Salmon describes how she was confronted by the murderer one December afternoon on her way home from school. Lured into an underground hiding place, she was raped and killed. But what the reader knows, her family does not. Anxiously, we keep vigil with Susie, aching for her grieving family, desperate for the killer to be found and punished.
Sebold creates a heaven that's calm and comforting, a place whose residents can have whatever they enjoyed when they were alive -- and then some. But Susie isn't ready to release her hold on life just yet, and she intensely watches her family and friends as they struggle to cope with a reality in which she is no longer a part. To her great credit, Sebold has shaped one of the most loving and sympathetic fathers in contemporary literature.
Alice Sebold is an American writer. She has published three books: Lucky (1999), The Lovely Bones (2002), and The Almost Moon (2007)

评分1.妈妈想要远离家的愿望。这个角色是书里最纠结,最戏剧化的一个.孩子没有长大的时候,她的身份几乎是百分百的主妇和母亲。苏茜很偶然拍到母亲神思飘渺的一刻,那时却不能理解那种美。对父亲而言,那个笑起来能让他忘记全世界的海眼姑娘,却在事件发生后无法面对世界。可是我特...
评分外面在下雨,黑黑的夜无边,时而有路灯光从窗外洒落进车窗,冰凉地铺洒到手中的书上。 纸惨白。 故事惨白。 火车奔腾在默默长夜中,我心底飘过几声叹息,有泪水为苏西哭泣。 “1973年12月6日,我被谋杀时才十四岁……” 这是故事的开头,这句I was fourteen when I was murder...
