«In meinem Himmel» is the novel by Alice Sebold, published by Goldmann Wilhelm GmbH in paperback (380 pages, in German).
Susie Salmon, a fourteen-year-old teenager, narrates from her particular heaven how her family and friends cope with her murder, while the neighbour Mr. Harvey, guilty of the crime, remains free. Throughout the novel, Susie's gaze accompanies the Salmons' grief and the attempt to close a wound that seems impossible to overcome, between memory, justice and the need to let go of the past.
Translation from English by Almuth Carstens of the original title «The Lovely Bones», originally published in 2002. The book was awarded the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and book clubs looking for an intense story about grief and overcoming, as long as they don't mind facing a hard and delicate subject.
Alice Sebold is an American author. She is known for her novels The Lovely Bones and The Almost Moon, and a memoir, Lucky. The Lovely Bones was on The New York Times Best Seller list and was adapted into a film by the same name in 2009.
