Summary: These next few pages describe the grief of the friends and
family of Susie. At her memorial service, her sister Lindsey faints as
she see's Mr.Harvey walk in, as her suspicions rises. Ruth who was one
of Susie's best friend turns out to be Lesbian and has a great obsession
with finding out the truth behind Susie's murder. Only finding comfort
in her boyfriend, Lindsey loses her virginity at camp. And soon after
her husband being attacked wrongly in the Corn field, Susie's mother
cheats on him with the officer investigating her daughter's death.
Things can't seem to get worst but they begin to get better as Lindsey
takes part in helping her broken father find closure in Susie's death.
For a brief moment we are told the question all detectives wonder about serial killers, why? As it turns out Mr. Harvey had a life changing
experience as his mother ran over his father. But shortly after, Sebold
brigs us back to the present day drama on earth as Ray and Ruth ( who
was said to be lesbian ) begin to have feelings for each other. A bigger
tragedy occurs when Susie's mother leaves her home, and Lindsey finds
out about the affair with detective Len. But to not end up in completely
terrible terms, we are told that Mr.Harvey is being searched for with
sketches of him all over the place as the truth comes out after he moves
out of his home. Ironically a family with three girls moves into his
home.
Quote: " When the dead are done with the living, the living can go on to other things " ( Sebold 145 )
Reaction: This quote was said to Susie by Franny ( her heaven mother ).
Such strong words made me wonder when all the drama on earth would stop.
Also it made me wonder if it is time for Susie to let her family move
on and rest in peace.
can Susie interact with those who are living on Earth?
