Rachel Weisz portrayed Abigail Salmon in the movie The Lovely Bones.
Abigail is Susie’s mother. She was so devastated when Susie died, she grew apart from her family. Hoping to forget the tragedy, she had an affair with Len Fenerman--the detective. Susie always mentioned how behind a good mother and a good wife is a different woman. She decided to leave when she found her grief too much to bear. She told her husband that, "Let's pretend it is the ocean and that I am going away and we might never see each other again." (p.213) It took her eight years to realize that she really loves her husband and she wants her family back. She finally returned when she heard about her husband had a heart attack.
