This is a well written story about a young girl who is killed by a serial killer. As the narrator, she watches her family, friends, and community cope with the tragedy of her death. It takes years for the family to recover but the premise Sebold used is so creative as she examines the grief process of those who knew Susie. I did not think I would like this book but I found it a different way to view grief - particularly when the one who dies is tragically murdered. How can we ever know what someone else is feeling when they lose a loved one, a friend or just an acquaintance? A good read indeed.
