推薦一本暢銷小說 Alice Sebold 所寫的 The Lovely Bones 這本小說描寫一個女孩子在被鄰居強暴、謀殺之後 從天堂看人世的故事 主角叫做Susie 死後從天堂看到自己的家人的反應與感受； 弟妹與朋友的成長經過 兇手的掙扎與一再犯案的衝動 以及他自己在天堂的體悟與學習 個人覺得作者說故事的方法蠻高明 他並不是根據時間線來說這個故事 而是一件事牽著一件事，一個感受牽著另一個感受 他在每個人的動作與言談描述上透露了大家內心的震撼與悲傷 會讓人忍不住一頁接著一頁看下去 每個文化甚至每個人對天堂的描述其實都不一樣 希望跟大家分享一個好的故事 不涉及宗教與文化對天堂的定義 只因為自己從這本書裡得到了閱讀的樂趣與不同的感受 節錄封底的簡介： This is Susie Salmon, speaking from heaven - which looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets, counsllors to help newcomers adjust, and friends ot room with. Everything Susie wants appears as soon as she thinks of it - except the one thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on earth. Watching from her place in heaven, Susie sees her happy, suburban family devastated by her death, isolated even from one another, as they each try to cope with their terrible loss alone. Over the years, her friends and siblings group up, fall in love, do all the things she never had the chance to do herself. But life is not quite finished with Susie yet... --
