Summary
My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.
In heaven, Susie Salmon can have whatever she wishes for - except what she most wants, which is to be back with the people she loved on earth.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
Moving and compelling … It will put an imperceptible but stealthily insistent hold on you. I sat down in the morning to read the first couple of pages; five hours later, I was still there, book in hand, transfixed – Maggie O’Farrell * Sunday Telegraph *
Spare, beautiful and brutal prose … The Lovely Bones is compulsive enough to read in a single sitting, brilliantly intelligent, elegantly constructed and ultimately intriguing * The Times *
Takes the stuff of terrible tragedy and transforms it into something hopeful and redemptive * Daily Mail *
[Sebold] has created a novel that is painfully fine and accomplished, one which readers will have their own difficulties relinquishing, long after the last page is turned * Los Angeles Times *
A chilling juxtaposition of innocence against evil * New Statesman *
Sebold has given us a fantasy-fable of great authority, charm, and daring. She’s a one-of-a-kind writer – Jonathan Franzen
