    Author: Alice Sebold

    type of book: Autobiography; Memoir
    call number: Bio/SEBO.al

    This book is strong in character and story.

    Summary:
    This memoir recounts, in brutally honest detail, the author's rape and subsequent recovery as a college freshman in the early 80's.

    I would recommend this book!

    Why?
    This is one of the most powerful and moving books I've ever read.

    Sebold is an immensely gifted writer. Even when dealing with the darkest of subject matter, such as in her debut novel, The Lovely Bones, she engages the reader with a smooth prose style that is often shockingly humorous and surprisingly uplifting.

    NOTE: This book contains graphic descriptions of the assault.
