Published in 1986, this powerful and immensely satisfying family saga resonates with the author’s own life and experience. The novel follows the painful but liberating emotional journey of Tom Wingo, who travels to New York from his native South Carolina to care for his sister Savannah, a successful feminist poet but a fragile woman who has attempted suicide once again. He accepts her psychiatrist’s suggestion that they work together to explore Savannah’s anguished past. Only then can Tom confront the awful truth about his family and the dark secrets that have poisoned them, at last finding a measure of redemption.  \nPat Conroy (b. 1945) writes as affectingly as anyone today about the conflicting tensions of modern life, particularly among families, especially in the South. His own experience stirs his imagination and his riveting skill as a storyteller. Each of Conroy’s novels echoes some aspect of the story of his life in a turbulent but remarkable family, and his writing is suffused with a poetic affection for the ripe atmosphere and complex humanity of South Carolina, where he has spent much of his life. The Prince of Tides, in which his rich, fearlessly heartfelt style is most fully realized, has brought Conroy his greatest success. “A big sprawling saga of a novel, the kind Steinbeck and James Jones used to write ...,”the San Francisco Chronicle said in its review of the book,“the kind you can hole up with and spend some days with and put down feeling that you’ve emerged from a terrible, wonderful spell.”  \nRosettaBooks is the leading publisher dedicated exclusively to electronic editions of great works of fiction and non-fiction that reflect our world.
