Product Description

Product Description
By the author of "Prince of Tides". This book tells of a family haunted by dark memories that reach back into the terrors of the Holocaust. Jack McCall is taken on a journey that encompasses the past and present in both Europe and the American South.

From the Back Cover
With the spectacular worldwide success of his unforgettable novel The Prince of Tides, Pat Conroy established himself as a major international writer. He now returns with Beach Music, the powerful story of a family haunted by memories that reach back into a troubled past.

Jack McCall, an American living in Rome with his young daughter, is trying to find peace after the recent trauma of his wife's suicide. But his search for solitude is disturbed by his sister-in-law, and by two schoolfriends who want his help in tracking down another classmate who went underground as a Vietnam protestor and never resurfaced. As Jack begins a journey that encompasses the past and the present in both Europe and the American South, he also begins a quest that will lead him to shocking and ultimately liberating truths.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about people. Those we love, hate, admire and distrust., 28 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Beach Music (Bantam/Doubleday/Delacorte Press Large Print Collection) (Hardcover)
Beach Music is the book I go back to time and time again. I think it's because, when I got to the end of the book, I felt like I knew the characters. It's about people. It's about the relationships we have in our lives - family, friends, enemies - and how those people affect us and change our lives. There's detail - you see the "view" that the author describes but there's also feelings and emotions. Described as they are, not as cliches or over-used lines, but simply and truthfully. It's a great book - if you enjoy watching lives unfold - it's for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master of Dialogue, 28 April 1999
By A Customer
Pat Conroys' superb novel of family relations and tragedy is remarkable for many reasons. The dialogue is sparkingly witty, poignante and awakening. The personalities each retain their own morals and views of their own worlds whilst still evolving in their own right. The story line is everything one could ask of a novelist, a sheer delight. Here, there is something for every human being interested in the tragi/comedie of life. ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I would like to convey just how much I love this book. It is superb, just like all his others. The main character Jack McCall is so engaging and his relationships with his daughter, family, friends and enemies are excellently drawn. Also the intertwining of stories from his past, the history of others and the present means that the book is always leading you on. There is a kind of bittersweet humour about this story. This book makes me laugh but also made me cry.
I've lost count of the times I've re-read it and also loaned it to friends and colleagues. I simply think that its probably my favourite book ever!
