In a memoir hailed for its searing candor and wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was utterly transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What propels this chronicle of her recovery is Sebold's indomitable spirit - as she struggles for understanding ; as her dazed family and friends sometimes bungle their efforts to provide comfort and support: and as, ultimately, she triumphs, managing through grit and coincidence to help secure her attacker's arrest and conviction. In a narrative by turns disturbing, thrilling, and inspiring, Alice Sebold illuminates profoundly hard-won: "you save yourself or you remain unsaved."

Journal Entry 5 by wingkittybrombeerewing from Dossenheim, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Thursday, November 16, 2006
Buch kam zusammen mit der deutschen Übersetzung hier an. Ich werde mich an der Originalversion versuchen und notfalls auf die Übersetzung zurückgreifen. Übrigens eine tolle Idee, die beiden Bücher zusammen auf Reisen zu schicken.

Journal Entry 6 by wingkittybrombeerewing from Dossenheim, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Friday, December 1, 2006
Hart, aber sehr beeindruckend. Die Vergewaltigung und das danach - vor allem die Begegnung mit dem Täter und das Kreuzverhör sind großartig geschildert, haben mich aber auch sehr aufgewühlt. Tolles Buch, aber ungeeignet als Einschlaflektüre - man liest sich wach...

Die Sprache war für mich kein Problem, nur bei einigen Redewendungen musste ich zur deutschen Übersetzung greifen.

Journal Entry 7 by Sternschnuppe28 from Flörsheim am Main, Hessen Germany on Monday, December 11, 2006
just received today, together with the German translation. I will stick to the English original and read this one. Thanks for sending!

Journal Entry 8 by Sternschnuppe28 from Flörsheim am Main, Hessen Germany on Sunday, March 4, 2007
"In the tunnel where I was raped, a tunnel that was once an underground entry to an amphitheater, a place where actors burst forth from underneath the seats of a crowd, a girl had been murdered and dismembered. I was told this story by the police. In comparison, they said, I was lucky." (p. 3)

"It is not just forcible intercourse; rape means to inhabit and destroy everything." (p. 123)

"The word lucky is my shorthand for blessed. I have been blessed by the people in my life." (p. 245)

a very strong, highly impressive memoir - I will definetely get my own copy of the book and re-read it later on.

"Lucky" continues travelling tomorrow along with its German translation to maipenrai.
