Susie Salmon was fourteen years old when she was murdered by
a man from her neighbourhood. Now in heaven, she can have whatever she
wishes for – except the one thing she wants most: to be back with the
people she loved on earth. Susie watches from above as her suburban
family is torn apart by grief; as her friends grow up, fall in love, and
do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. In time,
Susie will realise that even in death, life is not quite out of reach . .
