About This Item
An uncorrected proof of the first American edition of this iconic novel [Houghton Mifflin Boston 1986], signed by author Pat Conroy directly on the title page. This somewhat fragile book is in very good condition with no remainder marks, a tight and square binding, with no owner inscriptions or highlighting and no staining or marking. The book does have creases on the spine and corner wear, often associated with reading and shelving a soft cover book Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information concerning this earliest and very scarce example of Conroy's masterpiece.
Synopsis
In his most brilliant and powerful novel, Pat Conroy tells the story of Tom Wingo, his twin sister, Savannah, and the dark and violent past of the family into which they were born. Pat Conroy reveals the lives of his characters with surpassing depth and power, capturing the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina lowcountry and a lost way of life. His lyric gifts, abundant good humor, and compelling storytelling are well known to readers of The Great Santini and The Lords of Discipline. The Prince of Tides continues that tradition yet displays a new, mature voice of Pat Conroy, signaling this work as his greatest accomplishment.
