Alice Sebold
Author of The Lovely Bones and The Almost Moon...
Alice Sebold was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
It was while she was a student at Syracuse University in New York that she was raped - an experience that formed the basis of her 1999 memoir, Lucky, after a policeman told her she was "lucky" not to have been killed by her attacker. She began writing Lucky while she was a graduate student at Irvine in California.
Her first novel, The Lovely Bones (2002), won the American Booksellers' Association Book of the Year Award in 2003 and is currently being made into a film by Peter Jackson with a release date of 2008. She now lives in San Francisco with her husband, the novelist Glen David Gold. Her latest novel, The Almost Moon, is published by Picador.
