A haunting and heartbreaking novel narrated from heaven as a young girl watches over her family and killer. 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. In the wake of her murder, Susie watches as her happy suburban family is torn apart by grief; as her friends grow up, fall in love, and do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But as Susie will come to realize, even in death, life is not quite out of reach . . . An astonishing novel about life and death, memory and forgetting, and finding light in the darkest places. Alice Sebold's book inspired the Peter Jackson film, starring Susan Sarandon and Saoirse Ronan. 'Moving and compelling . . . 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 (author of The Marriage Portrait), Sunday Telegraph Read Less

This is a book about a 14 year old little girl who was murdered, and the story is told by her...her name was Susie Salmon. She narrates the book from Heaven.
Good read. A novel about life and death, forgiveness and vengeance. Painfully funny, tough and terribly sad as well as a tribute to the healing power of grief.
I liked this book. It was definitely from a different perspective.

Lovely even with bones
I enjoyed the book but it was a bit slow in places... Maybe it's one of those tomes that requires reading twice to appreciate it fully?
Ironically, the film was shown on TV a few days after I'd read the book... and I was very glad I'd read the book first as I thought the film was rubbish.
The book seller was great! Great price, well packaged and arrived speedily :-)

I hope the movie is better than the book. From what I read, I would not be inspired to watch it.

Awesome!!! Excellent!!! One of the best books I have read so far. Excellent vocabulary. Emotional and thought-provoking. I couldn't put it down, then I didn't want it to end.
