In a small New England fishing village,Charlie St. Cloud takes care of the cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, was buried. After Charlie survived the car crash that took Sam’s life, Charlie is given an amazing gift. He can see, talk to, and even play catch with his brother’s spirit. Then comes Tess who is a woman training for a solo sailing trip around the world. She gets caught in a storm that throws her into Charlie’s life. Their strange, amazing connection puts Charlie in a race against time. He has to choose between life and death, the past and the future, and between holding on and letting go.
I really liked this book because it had a story life that keeps you wondering. The love connections are really different in a sweet kind of way. It is really inventive and keeps you full of hope while realizing what’s important in life. This book helps you figure out what real decisions actually are.
The quote from this book is early on in the story. It is: “Of all his reckless decisions that night, surely this was the worst. Charlie raced the moon, and in the final second before the end, he saw the perfect image of happiness. Sam’s innocent face looking up at him. The curl over his forehead. The Rawlings glove on his hand. And then there was only fracturing glass, metal, and blackness.”
