Chronicle As Books Beach Music

An American expatriate in Rome unearths his family legacy in this sweeping novel by the acclaimed author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini

A Southerner living abroad, Jack McCall is scarred by tragedy and betrayal. His desperate desire to find peace after his wife’s suicide draws him into a painful, intimate search for the one haunting secret in his family’s past that can heal his anguished heart. Spanning three generations and two continents, from the contemporary ruins of the American South to the ancient ruins of Rome, from the unutterable horrors of the Holocaust to the lingering trauma of Vietnam, Beach Music sings with life’s pain and glory. It is a novel of lyric intensity and searing truth, another masterpiece among Pat Conroy’s legendary and beloved novels.

Judgment Appertaining To Books Beach Music

Pat Conroy has done it again! A fantastic 5 star audiobook on cassettes! I could not stop listening to this novel until it was finished! Wow! Thanks to my Goodreads friends who recommended this masterpiece with their excellent reviews. My only regret is that it has taken me until today to find BEACH MUSIC and read it. It is about love, childhood, dysfunctional families, horrors of World War II, abuse, growing up, university days, environmental issues, anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, priesthood,

The sheer size of this book is daunting,over 600 pages,in my hardback edition. I had been very impressed by Pat Conroy's "The Prince of Tides" and wanted to read more of his work. So,I was prepared to spend a good long while reading it. It's not as good as the Prince of Tides. It has a lot of characters and too many stories. At times,it doesn't feel like a coherent novel. Conroy takes too many detours.As in The Prince of Tides,dysfunctional family life,is at the centre of the book. There is a

I would never have read this book, had it not been left in a pile of paperbacks on a rig offshore, and I had I not finished the two books I brought with me already. I honestly had no idea what to expect, and almost put it down after 13 pages because Talladega Nights was on HBO.But I didn't, and I spent large chunks of my afternoons once back onshore reading this monstrosity. Beach Music is a grand, sweeping novel of a Southern man in a Southern city in a Southern state (South Carolina,

Pat Conroy wrote the beautiful introduction to one of my all-time favorite books, Gone with the Wind. My rule with classics, not that I read them as often as I probably should, is to read the introduction after completing the book. Once I finished Gone with the Wind and then read Conroys introduction, I knew that this would be an author that I need to look into. Beach Music is the first book that I have read by him. It grabbed me right from the start and I was hooked. Even though we were on



Prior to reading Beach Music, I had only experienced Conroy in his reading memoir, My Reading Life. Since I knew he would be at the SC Book Festival, I spent most of my reading time this past week coming back to this book. I had started it on a beach trip with my sister over spring break, but some of the topics were a little too close to me at that time.Jack, the main character in this novel, has lived in Rome with his daughter Leah ever since his wife Shyla committed suicide and he had a very

I love Pat Conroy's writing.
