Finished reading: Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer 📚

1969 | Middle grade, time travel, historical fiction (WW1, 1950s)

I gave this book to my husband for his birthday. The book was the inspiration for The Cure’s song “Charlotte Sometimes” (one of his favorite songs from his all-time favorite band). I didn’t know the song well, so I didn’t catch the lyrics drawn from the book, but I can see and appreciate the inspiration for sure. The book was thought-provoking about the feel of identity in the midst of day-to-day life and there were times I felt real tension about how the plot would resolve. And I love the title so much.
