This is one of my favorite books. I'm only posting it because I own two copies. Conroy writes beautifully.

I hated to have it end.

In my opinion, this is Pat Conroy's best book. The writing is gorgeous and the story is captivating. You will fall in love with the South Carolina low country as if it were another character in the book.

One of my top 5 EVER. The opening line alone will get you. "My wound is geography."
if you've seen the movie it may be ruined for you. The book is brilliant.
