The Prince of Tides is technically a work of fiction, but it is heavily autobiographical. Author Pat Conroy based the story’s South Carolina setting, its central dysfunctional family, and the brutal, abusive father on his own difficult childhood.
Pat Conroy has created a huge, brash thunderstorm of a novel, stinging with honesty and resounding with drama.
Spanning forty years, this is the story of turbulent Tom Wingo, his gifted and troubled twin sister, Savannah, and their struggle to triumph over the dark and tragic legacy of the extraordinary family into which they were born.
It revolves around traumatic events that affected former football player Tom Wingo’s relationship with his immediate family.
We’ve all had that feeling: the memory of a beloved childhood book, a title mentioned in passing that you can’t get out of your head, or an out-of-print gem that seems to have vanished completely.
The search for a specific book can feel like a quest, and we want to be your trusted guide.
