U.S. viewers know Bollywood secondhand from Moulin Rouge (the production number with the elephant), Ghost World (that goofy disco clip, from the 1965 film Gumnaam) and the art-house hit Monsoon Wedding (the dance that brings a fractious family together).

Almost everything that makes The Lovely Bones the breakout fiction debut of the year - the sweetness, the humor, the kicky rhythm, the deadpan suburban gothic - is right there, packed into those first two lines, under pressure and waiting to explode. Part coming-of-age tale, part mystery, part ghost story, Alice Sebold's first novel (she's also the author of a memoir, Lucky) is the tale of an ordinary girl who is raped, murdered and dismembered in a field near her house.
