and live by love though the stars walk backward. e.e. cummings.

"that brings me to the case of charlie st. cloud. like i said, it starts with a calamity on the drawbridge over the saugus river, but there's a lot more to it than that. it's about devotion and the unbreakable bond between brothers. it's about finding your soulmate where you least expect. it's about life cut short and love lost. some folks would call it a tragedy, and i see their point. but i've always tried to find the good in the most desperate situations, and that's why the story of these boys stays with me. you may think some of this seems far-fetched, even impossible. believe me, i know we all cling to life and its certainties. it's not easy in these cynical times to cast off the hardness and edge that get us through our days- but try just a little. open your eyes and you will see what i can see. and if you've ever wondered what happens when a person close to you is taken too soon - and it's always too soon - you may find other truths here, truths that may break the grip of sadness in your life, that may set you free from guilt, that may even bring you back to this world from wherever you are hiding. and then you will never feel alone."

p.4, the death and life of charlie st. cloud.

jag har inte läst ut boken än, men den är riktigt bra. så sker det ingen drastisk förändring nu så är det nog en av de bästa böckerna jag läst.
