“Alice Sebold crea una novela mágica, conmovedora, inolvidable. ¡No se la pierda por ningún motivo!” –Isabel Allende “Profundamente conmovedor... un retrato perspicaz del amor familiar y de cómo perdura y a la vez cambia con el pasar del tiempo”. –The New York Times Cuando conocemos a Susie Salmon, sabemos que ya está en el cielo, en su nuevo hogar. Desde allí nos relata, con la inconfundible voz de una adolescente de catorce años, una historia tan inquietante como alentadora: la de su propio asesinato a manos de un vecino y el proceso de recuperación por el que pasarán sus seres queridos. Tras su muerte, Susie contempla cómo la vida continúa sin ella; sus compañeros de colegio rumorean sobre su desaparición, su familia mantiene la ilusión de encontrarla con vida y el asesino se esfuerza en borrar las huellas del crimen. Los acontecimientos se suceden al tiempo que Susie se va adaptando a ese lugar llamado cielo, un refugio mágico donde encuentra consejeros que la ayudan a entender la muerte y amigos con los que convivir, un nuevo hogar donde halla todo lo que desea excepto lo más importante: reencontrarse con las personas a las que ama quienes todavía viven sobre la Tierra. Desde mi cieloes una historia asombrosa y de extraordinaria ternura que parte de una de las pruebas más dolorosas a las que, desgraciadamente, a veces tenemos que enfrentarnos: la pérdida de un ser querido. Pero es también un relato lleno de esperanza, humor y el poder curativo del amor.

Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, The Lovely Bones succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.

Looking Glass: A Special Edition of THE LOVELY BONES

Genre Fiction

In a memoir hailed for its searing candor and wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was utterly transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What propels this chronicle of her recovery is Sebold's indomitable spirit-as she struggles for understanding ("After telling the hard facts to anyone, from lover to friend, I have changed in their eyes"); as her dazed family and friends sometimes bungle their efforts to provide comfort and support; and as, ultimately, she triumphs, managing through grit and coincidence to help secure her attacker's arrest and conviction. In a narrative by turns disturbing, thrilling, and inspiring, Alice Sebold illuminates the experience of trauma victims even as she imparts wisdom profoundly hard-won: "You save yourself or you remain unsaved."
