内容概要

　　The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud tells the haunting
story of a young man who narrowly survives a terrible car wreck
that kills his little brother. Years later, the brothers’ bond
remains so strong that it transcends the normal boundaries
separating life and death. Charlie St. Cloud lives in a snug New
England fishing village. By day he tends the lawns and monuments of
the ancient cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, is buried.
Graced with an extraordinary gift after surviving the accident, he
can still see, talk, and even play catch with Sam’s spirit. But
townsfolk whisper that Charlie has never recovered from his
loss.
　　Into his carefully ordered life comes Tess Carroll, a
captivating, adventuresome woman training for a solo sailing trip
around the globe. Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm
that blows her back to harbor, to a charged encounter with Charlie,
and to a surprise more overwhelming than the violent sea itself.
Charlie and Tess discover a beautiful and uncommon connection that
leads to a race against time and a desperate choice between death
and life, between the past and the future, between holding on and
letting go.
　　Luminous, soulful, and filled with unforgettable characters, The
Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is one of those rare, wise
books that reveal the mysteries of the unseen world around us,
gently transforming the worst pain of loss into hope, healing, and
even laughter. Suspenseful and deeply moving, its startling climax
reminds us that sometimes tragedies can bring about miracles if we
simply open our hearts.
　　From the Hardcover edition.
