Also from Sebold:

"The Lovely Bones"

This eloquently written novel surrounds the rape and murder of a 14 year-old girl. She watches down from heaven at her family and the police. She watches them as they cope with the struggle of everyday activities. She watches them try to solve her murder. Sebold writes with a peaceful, flowing rhythm unlike that of most murder novels. If you choose one book of hers to read, this is by far the best. Hands Down.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

"Lucky"

The story of a rape victim who struggles everyday to regain her identity. A tale of empowerment, though filled with graphic details, as one relives the rape with the victim. This gripping and powerful memoir contains Sebold's usual grace and charm as she deals with yet again, overcoming the situations in life that come with no instruction manual.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
