What's the book where a young girl (7 or 8) narrates the book giving her view of heaven?
She was murdered by a neighbour (?) who had an underground bunker (?).
Need to know!
It's brilliant if disturbing read and i'm ashmed not to have made a note of the author.
TIA

I've just finished "Little Bee" by Chris Cleave.
A very similar genre.
It's brilliantly written and reminded me of "Lovely Bones".
I can highly recomend it.

Yes, Lucky was based on Alice's own rape experience. Sad

What´s "The Five People You Meet In Heaven"?
Fiction?

The Five People You Meet in Heaven is by Mitch Albom and one of my favourite books. I first read it after my beloved Gran died and I personally found it quite comforting.
It is fiction.
