#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.
