The Barnes & Noble Review One night near the end of her freshman year at Syracuse University, Alice Sebold was raped while walking home through a park. From that experience comes Lucky, an account of the rape and the year that followed it, 12 months during which Sebold tried to readjust to college and family life. Six months after the rape, she spotted her attacker on the street in Syracuse, and thus began the long, arduous task of prosecuting him. This is not an ordinary memoir. Sebold is determined to tell the truth about her rape and its aftereffects. The book opens with a detailed account of the actual rape, which I at first found lurid, until I realized I had never read anything like it before except in fiction. Rape is still such a stigmatized crime that its victims' names are omitted from news reports; rarely do they tell their own stories. To share her experience in such a precise and detailed manner is an act of courage. After the rape, Sebold finds a huge gulf has opened up between herself and those around her, those who have not been raped. No one is sure how to treat her, and Sebold hates the silence and embarrassment that seems to creep into every conversation. Even her own father admits to believing that, for a rape to occur, the woman must in some way be complicit. Home for the summer, Sebold feels alienated from the "nice boys," who now can barely look at her, and family relations, which were never easy (her mother is prone to panic attacks, her father is aloof), are now further strained. Back at school in the fall, Sebold finds that she has unwittingly achieved a sort offacelesscelebrity; although her anonymity was never officially compromised, many know her name, if not her face. Having moved to a new dorm, she is stunned when people say things like, "You moved here from Marion [her old dorm]? Did you know the girl who was raped?" She is also surprised to.

The timeless, fearless, #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from the author of The Lovely Bones—a powerful account of her sexual assault at the age of eighteen and the harrowing trial that followed, now with a new afterword by the author. In a memoir hailed for its searing candor, as well as its wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What ultimately propels this chronicle of sexual assault and its aftermath is Sebold's indomitable spirit, as she fights to secure her rapist's arrest and conviction and comes to terms with a relationship to the world that has forever changed. With over a million copies in print, Lucky has touched the lives of a generation of readers. Sebold illuminates the experience of trauma victims and imparts a wisdom profoundly hard-won: 'You save yourself or you remain unsaved.' Now reissued with a new afterword by the author, her story remains as urgent as it was when it was first published eighteen years ago. ePUB, 22.09.2009.

2009, Englisch, Enormously visceral, emotionally gripping, and imbued with the belief that justice is possible even after the most horrific of crimes, Alice Sebold's compelling memoir of her rape at the age of eighteen is a story that takes hold of you and won't let go.Sebold fulfills a promise that she made to herself in the very tunnel where she was raped: someday she would write a book about her experience. With Lucky she delivers on that promise with mordant wit and an eye for life's absurdities, as she describes what she was like both as a young girl before the rape and how that rape changed but did not sink the woman she later became.It is Alice's indomitable spirit that we come to know in these pages. The same young woman who sets her sights on becoming an Ethel Merman-style diva one day (despite her braces, bad complexion, and extra weight) encounters what is still thought of today as the crime from which no woman can ever really recover. In an account that is at once heartrending and hilarious, we see Alice's spiri.

Her case, placed in the inactive file, is miraculously opened again six months later when she sees her rapist on the street. This begins the long road to what ***tes these pages: the struggle for triumph and understanding -- in the courtroom and outside in the world.Lucky is, quite simply, a real-life thriller. In its literary style and narrative tension we never lose sight of why this life story is worth reading. At the end we are left standing in the wake of devastating violence, and, like the writer, we have come to know what it means to survive.
