Title: A Stunning & Beautiful Story
Product review: I was completely blown away by this book. Sebold tells the story from the point of view of a dead girl, beginning with her murder, and ending 10 years later, as the protagonist views her family from heaven. The story is told in an extremely poignant fashion without becoming a tear-jerker or an overly emotional "statement on the human existence."The story itself, the plot, the characters, and the narrative style are portrayed very intelligently, though there is nothing pretentious about it.The scenic descriptions are sublime, and there is suspense involved, though this isn't in any way a mystery. The characters are slowly, but fully, developed, and the passage of time is shown with a light hand.I will read every book Sebold writes.
