#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.
