Horror and HopeAlice Sebold's critically acclaimed, best-selling book, The Lovely Bones (2002), has been chosen for discussion by countless book clubs and is a regular on teen-read lists. The novel tells the story of a murdered girl who watches her family -- and her killer -- from heaven.
Sebold's novel was recently translated to the big screen; the film was directed by Oscar® winner Peter Jackson. The film also features a stellar cast : Oscar® nominee Mark Wahlberg; Oscar® winners Rachel Weisz and Susan Sarandon; along with Stanley Tucci, Michael Imperioli and Oscar® nominee Saoirse Ronan.
Since the big screen version is limited release (not to mention mixed reviews) we all have time to read or re-read The Lovely Bones...
