Title: A Memoir That Reads Like a Novel
Review: Thankfully the success of Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones has brought her previously published and equally well-written memoir to light. I actually read Lucky first, and was amazed at Sebold's ability to gain insight from her real life experience and put it to such great use in her later work. Equally impressive was Sebold's amazing ability to recall and recount in such detail the experience of her rape and its aftermath. The reader learns much about so many aspects of a survivor's experience, including the impact on relationships with family and friends, the challenges within the legal/criminal justice system, the emotional/psychological ramifications, and just what it takes to truly SURVIVE such an experience. An inspiring read!
