The second half of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones explores a variety of themes, all of which example the relationship between the main character’s version of heaven and the real world. Susie Salmon’s story about her “perfect life” in heaven and her family’s very imperfect lives on earth can be seen as proof that the grass is always greener on the other side. This is illustrated through the drastic measures each member of the Salmon family takes to cope with Susie’s murder and the ways Susie wishes to be back on Earth with them. Sebold shows how one theme is connected to another by linking humans’ constant desire of things they do not have with the theme of fleeing.
