No reader ...Show synopsisPat Conroy's inspired masterpiece relates the dark and violent chronicle of an astounding family: the Wingos of Colleton, South Carolina. No reader will forget them. And no reader can remain untouched by their story. All Wingos share one heritage...shrimp fishing, poverty and the searing memory of a single terrifying event - the source of Tom Wingo's self-hatred and of his sister Savannah's suicidal despair. To save himself and Savannah, Tom confronts the past with the help of New York psychologist Susan Lowenstein. As Tom and Susan unravel the bitter history of his troubled childhood, in episodes of grotesque humour, poignant lyricism and shattering violence, the door opens vividly onto a world peopled by a cast of colourful, eccentric and unforgettable characters.Hide synopsis

A Review of The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy
Pat Conroy is one of my all time favorite writers. All of his novels center around one man, who narrates the story, but they are not ?men?s fiction.? As a man who is more than his testosterone, I have long struggled to find male writers who touch upon ...

I'm from New York and have spent some time in South Carolina. The Prince of Tides takes a South Carolina country boy and plops him down in Manhattan. The result -- one of the greatest novels I have ever read.
But you don't have to be Yankee or a good ole' boy to enjoy this masterpiece. All you ...

Best book I've read in a long time. The first Conroy book I read was South of Broad and I've read three others since. Looking forward to the next one.

I have already recommended this book to my sisters with the warning that they will have nights reading till 4am. Unbelievably powerful and full of so much more than the movie.
