A man tries to make peace with himself in the wake of his wife's suicide in Conroy's long-awaited blockbuster, which was a PW bestseller for 24 weeks.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal

Conroy's was the most talked-about book at the American Booksellers Association convention, even though it was reputedly only half-written. Hero Jack McCall, who has fled to Rome after his wife's suicide, is asked to locate a Sixties buddy whose antiwar activity drove him underground.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding Storytelling, Dec 21 2003
Southern Fiction to dwell in, Mr. Conroy is a talented storyteller and knits together a most amazing novel. Holocaust survivor stories meet a coming of age in the 60s tale, seasoned with sand and sea, betrayals, mental illness and drunkenness, which then evolves into a novel of family, faith, friends and forgiveness. There are numerous vivid and emotionally rich stories within this book, and many social statements. The language is stunningly brilliant, the characterizations are almost caricatures but somehow quite believable. A multilayered book, that not only maps out the city of Rome, but which is rich in the cadence of the South (specifically low country of South Carolina) with side trips to California, Minnesota, the hills of Appalachia, Canada and Nazi occupied Europe. Between the places and the stories, music and food weave in and out, and this was a book I was sad to finish. Crossing my fingers for a film and a soundtrack to go along with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Pat Conroy!!!, Aug 31 2007
By Carol Paterson (N. Vancouver, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nobody writes about the South like Pat Conroy. This is another "Winner"
the characters are wonderful and believable. I never want his books to end.
I do hope he has another coming soon!!
