Reviews"Reading PAT CONROY is like watching Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel." Houston Chronicle "Astonishing . . . stunning . . . the range of passions and subjects that brings life to every page is almost endless." The Washington Post Book World "Blockbuster writing at its best." Los Angeles Times Book Review "PAT CONROY'S writing contains a virtue now rare in most contemporary fiction: passion." The Denver Post "Magnificent...beach music is clearly CONROY'S best." San Francisco Chronicle From the Trade Paperback edition.
SynopsisPat Conroy is without doubt America's favorite storyteller, a writer who portrays the anguished truth of the human heart and the painful secrets of families in richly lyrical prose and unforgettable narratives. Now, in Beach Music , he tells of the dark memories that haunt generations, in a story that spans South Carolina and Rome and reaches back into the unutterable terrors of the Holocaust. Beach Music is about Jack McCall, an American living in Rome with his young daughter, trying to find peace after the recent trauma of his wife's suicide. But his solitude is disturbed by the appearance of his sister-in-law, who begs him to return home, and of two school friends asking for his help in tracking down another classmate who went underground as a Vietnam protester and never resurfaced. These requests launch Jack on a journey that encompasses the past and the present in both Europe and the American South, and that leads him to shocking--and ultimately liberating--truths. Told with deep feeling and trademark Conroy humor, Beach Music is powerful and compulsively readable. It is another masterpiece in the legendary list of classics that his body of work has already become. PAT CONROY is the author of five previous books: The Boo , The Water Is Wide , The Great Santini , The Lords of Discipline , and The Prince of Tides , the last four of which were made into feature films.

A lot of fluff.
The story-so far-is great, although there seems to be a lot of extra words. I personally prefer a story without so much extra "fluff" and unnecessary wording. I haven't gotten half way through it, and it seems to be taking longer than usual with all the tiny details that detract from the story itself. Of course this is just my opinion, but I do recommend it because the core story is very good. Hope this helps.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great read!
This is my all time favorite book! It's not an action filled book, but one that really keeps your attention and makes you root for the characters. If they ever turn this into a movie I would be hesitant to see it, because Pat Conroy really paints a beautiful story.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This is a wonderful Pat Conroy novel set in SC. This book is a discontinued library book with reinforced binding. The cover was filthy, but cleaned up
