Sebold, Alice
The lovely bones : a novel / Alice Sebold. -- London : Picador, 2002

This is Susan Salmon, speaking from heaven - which looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kid of swing sets, counsellors to help newcomers adjust, and friends to room with. Everything Susan 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 the 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 grow 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...
