Our current book selection "The Lovely Bones" is the winner of the American Bookseller Association's "Book of Year" Award.
"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973." So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her - her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, "The Lovey Bones" succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.
