AliCorbin reviewed The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Review of 'The Lovely Bones' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
An interesting experiment, with an omniscient first-person narration. Possible only by virtue of the narrator being dead and looking down from heaven. From her heaven, one of a multiplicity of personal heavens with varying amounts of overlap. Suzie wants to be a guardian angel to her family, and an avenging angel to her murderer, but it takes her quite a while to figure out how to affect anything in the land of the living, so she's fairly ineffectual at it. Her family does eventually heal, but more by their own efforts than by hers.
