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
