Charlie and Pearl is a tender and heart warming story, that takes hold of you and doesn't let you go till you finish the last page, and then it keeps lingering as you continue to contemplate it, days after. The kind of read that sticks with you, and the kind of read you don't forget.Pearl moves to a small town in New Zealand, a chance for her to take stock and take a break. Its there she meets Charlie, and there, their relationship develops.I don't want to say more than that, and although that is a very brief, simplified version, this is a read of discovery on so many levels, that to say much more would spoil that discovery for any other reader, but trust me when I say, you'll want to delve deep and discover a whole lot more about Pearl and Charlie, theirs is a relationship that has multiple layers. Soul searching, and heart wrenching.And that ending, well its one of the most unexpected I've ever read, but on contemplation, it fits perfectly with the characters and how they feel about each other.Highly, highly recommended.
