# The Lovely Bones - Hardcover

by **Alice Sebold** (Author)

"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on 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 unspeakable tragedy and loss, _The Lovely Bones_ succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
