My name is Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.
Thus begins the story of Susie Salmon's death and what came after, starting with the horrid truth that was a secret that she'd always share with her murderer and no other, though this novel is hardly about Susie herself. While Susie is in her heaven, she spends all of her spare time watching as her family falls apart, watching as her first love moves on, watching as her murderer escapes once more, watching. That's all Susie can do. Watch.
The Lovely Bones tells the side of murder mysteries that you never get to hear -- the victim's story. A #1 bestseller for a reason, this isn't a novel to miss.
