By : Alice Sebold
There
was a girl named Susie Salmon. She was a fourteen years old. is raped and
murdered on her way home from school. Her killer, a neighbour named George
Harvey, is considered a harmless loner. Unfortunaltely, he did not feel remorse
the killing, and he heartlessly disposes of Susie's body in the equivalent of a
rubbish dump.
Her
father, Abigail was shocked with her death. Then, Susie's family struggles to
come to terms with her death. Her mother, Abigail, is unable to express her
grief and resorts to escapism. A detective named Len Fenerman leads the murder
case but, to his distress, is unable to solve it. Susie's sister and father
become convinced that Mr Harvey is guilty, and are frustrated when a lack of
evidence means the case against him cannot be pursued; all seems lost when Mr
Harvey quietly leaves the neighbourhood.
Her friends, Ray and Ruth are
affected by her death. Ruth was trying to face the mystery of Susie’s death. Then,
She became obssesed with Susie and witch. Finally, Susie is unable to let go of
her life on earth. Before she is able fully to move on, Susie returns to earth
one last time, and her spirit enters Ruth's body. She makes love to Ray
Singh, marking her emancipation from the past and her acceptance that she
no longer has a future on earth. She is finally able to pass on to a true
heaven, to be released from her damaging attachment to the living – to find
peace.
