Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "A big sweeping novel of friendship and marriage" ( The Washington Post ) by the celebrated author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini Leopold Bloom King has been raised in a family shattered--and shadowed--by tragedy. Lonely and adrift, he searches for something to sustain him and finds it among a tightly knit group of outsiders. Surviving marriages happy and troubled, unrequited loves and unspoken longings, hard-won successes and devastating breakdowns, as well as Charleston, South Carolina's dark legacy of racism and class divisions, these friends will endure until a final test forces them to face something none of them are prepared for. Spanning two turbulent decades, South of Broad is Pat Conroy at his finest: a masterpiece from a great American writer whose passion for life and language knows no bounds. Praise for South of Broad "Vintage Pat Conroy . . . a big sweeping novel of friendship and marriage." -- The Washington Post "Conroy remains a magician of the page." -- The New York Times Book Review "Richly imagined . . . These characters are gallant in the grand old-fashioned sense, devoted to one another and to home. That siren song of place has never sounded so sweet." --New Orleans Times-Picayune "A lavish, no-holds-barred performance." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A lovely, often thrilling story." -- The Dallas Morning News "A pleasure to read . . . a must for Conroy's fans." --Associated Press, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A big sweeping novel of friendship and marriage" ( The Washington Post ) by the celebrated author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini Leopold Bloom King has been raised in a family shattered--and shadowed--by tragedy.

    This item was in the original box, but obviously not new. (There were signs of wear on the keys and crumbs in between.) The seller posted this item noting that returns would not be accepted. The item I received was non-functioning. I notified the seller, and the seller IMMEDIATELY refunded the full amount, including shipping costs. Thank you for integrity!

    Compelling tale of the old south in a simpler and crueler time.

    A friend recommended Pat Conroy's "South of Broad" to me saying that my writing style is similar, plus my twin (several sets of twins within the story) had just passed away while living in Charleston, SC. I went to see him just a few weeks before he passed and I remember many of the street names of the city's Historical district. I'm only about 100 pages into the book, but so far I find the tale interesting and compelling. I had read "The Great Santini" years ago and enjoyed it.
