South of Broad: A Novel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢Â â€œA big sweeping novel of friendship and marriageâ€ (The Washington Post) by the celebrated author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini
Â
Leopold Bloom King has been raised in a family shatteredâ€”and shadowedâ€”by tragedy. Lonely and adrift, he searches for something to sustain him and finds it among a tightly knit group of outsiders. Surviving marriages happy and troubled, unrequited loves and unspoken longings, hard-won successes and devastating breakdowns, as well as Charleston, South Carolinaâ€™s dark legacy of racism and class divisions, these friends will endure until a final test forces them to face something none of them are prepared for.
Â
Spanning two turbulent decades, South of Broad is Pat Conroy at his finest: a masterpiece from a great American writer whose passion for life and language knows no bounds.
