Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
PAT CONROY, America’s preeminent storyteller, delivers a sweeping novel of lyric intensity and searing truth–the story of Jack McCall, an American expatriate in Rome, 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 another masterpiece in PAT CONROY’S legendary list of beloved novels.

This is a good read for Pat Conroy fans. My husband wanted a hardcover of this book. It is one of his favorites. It was published in 1995. The copy we received is in great shape. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I read this book many years ago and found it to be so delightful and so "truly southern". I have purchased "Beach Music" to give to friends and acquaintances at various times in their lives when I felt the book could aid with their own circumstances. It is a book of laughter, tears and human growth...it is a book about life, lived everyday, by all of us.

I've just discovered Pat Conroy. Where has he been all my life? He writes books that you can't put down, yet you don't want them to end. I've started a libray of Mr. Conroy's books, I just wish there were more.
Rated by buyers -
Pat Conroy paints vivid pictures of Italy and the South in Beach Music. The story captures the sometime difficult relationships within families, especially eccentric Southern ones, and with your native land. Spanning many years, this novel touches on the Holocaust and resistance to Vietnam as it weaves a complicated story leading to modern day. It's the perfect read and shouldn't be missed!
If you're from the South, the stories about the main character's mother and brother will have you in stitches!
