Lucky

Lucky (1999) by Alice Sebold. The author of "The Lovely Bones" tells the harrowing story of her rape as a college freshman at Syracuse. Although she pursued her rapist successfully in court, the sexual assault left emotional scars that lasted for years. Sebold knows how to tell a story, and this is a riveting one. My only complaint is that the book is too short, and there's so much more I wanted to know. Grade: B+
