The post-punk band The Cure wrote a song entitled "Charlotte Sometimes" which the band released as a single in 1984. They have regularly played the song live in concerts ever since. Robert Smith has said that the song was based on this book.
Lyrics to the song can be found here: [1]
- Yes, there is already an article about it at Charlotte Sometimes (song). Nekura 20:11, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ending
Despite the spoiler warning, I don't think this article adequately describes the ending of the book. (It's my understanding that Clare dies in the flu epidemic and that someone from 1918 is related to one of the "modern" girls, but I haven't read the book & don't know the details.) Since there is a spoiler warning, and it doesn't seem like anyone is going to read that synopsis without wanting to know the full story, it seems coy to leave off exactly what did happen to Clare and Emily.
It also seems a little silly to have a "needs sources" bit listed, when the novel itself is clearly the source for most of what is written here. It would help if someone made a list of the particular items that need sources. 4.131.33.43 07:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've added the information you requested to the synopsis, and have reworked the whole article. Hope you read the book! It's very powerful and well written. Most libraries still have it on the shelves. The 1969 edition, is in my opinion, better, as the revised edition leaves out the sense of closure of the last few pages. Fh1 14:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
