In “The
Stranger in the Lifeboat,” Albom keeps us guessing until the end: Is this
strange and quiet man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to
cause the explosion? Are the survivors already in heaven, or are they in hell?
The story is
narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook
that is later discovered — a year later — when the empty life raft washes up on
the island of Montserrat.
It falls to
the island’s chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to
solve the mystery of what really happened.
A
fast-paced, compelling novel that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, The “Stranger
in the Lifeboat” suggests that answers to our prayers may be found where we
least expect them.
Adrift in a
raft after a terrible shipwreck, 10 strangers try to survive while they wait
for rescue.
After three
days, short on water, food, and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves.
They pull
him on board — and the survivor claims he can save them.
But should
they put their trust in him?
Will any of
them see home again?
And why did
the ship really sink?
