Sore Throat And Toothache

Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

A superb book, very sad, in some places as hard as a punch in the stomach but in other light as a feather.
's the story of a girl who is raped and murdered. But this happens in the first pages of the novel. From this moment begins a magnificent tale of life after death. The work of mourning and resumption of Life with a capital, slow but necessary, by the people who were close to this girl. And who tells us all this and 'she, the victim, Susie Salmon (like fish!) In a mixture of constant wonder at the things he sees from his sky, and in some moments of regret for not being able to "be there".
I say again: it 'a superb book. People who lived in a family "numerous" know that the links that are created within it can be very strong. For better or for worse. Of course it 's also a difficult book to read without shedding a tear.
