Pat Conroy is without doubt America's favorite storyteller, a writer who portrays the anguished truth of the human heart and the painful secrets of
families in richly lyrical prose and unforgettable narratives. Now, in Beach Music, he tells of the dark memories that haunt generations, in a story
that spans South Carolina and Rome and reaches back into the unutterable terrors of the Holocaust.

Beach Music is about Jack McCall, an American living in Rome with his young daughter, trying to find peace after the recent trauma of his wife's
suicide. But his solitude is disturbed by the appearance of his sister-in-law, who begs him to return home, and of two school friends asking for his help in
tracking down another classmate who went underground as a Vietnam protester and never resurfaced. These requests launch Jack on a journey that encompasses the past and the present in both Europe and the American South, and that leads him to shocking--and ultimately liberating--truths.

Told with deep feeling and trademark Conroy humor, Beach Music is powerful and compulsively readable. It is another masterpiece in the legendary
list of classics that his body of work has already become.

PAT CONROY is the author of five previous books: The Boo, The Water Is Wide, The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline, and
The Prince of Tides, the last four of which were made into feature films. Family Life Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Samimi

Overall this was beautiful, heartbreaking and incredibly funny story. I can’t recommend enough. There is music between chapters which at times can drown out the words but that doesn’t take away from this being a must read. Truly beautiful.

Truly beautiful

I have just finished reading this book for the second time… first read was in the 90’s while on holiday and i had been searching for this booj ever since. Second read even better than the first! Unforgettable characters, and a beautiful portrait of S. Carolina as well as Italy. Conroy has the ability to flesh out characters that feel as real to me as if i had known them. Not a fan of the music that at times overtakes audio - the book would read better without it. But that aside, the reader is wonderful and shows a real grasp of all the characters he portrays. First rate!!!

Beautiful!

Huge parts of the original book are missing, which is a shame as the story in the book is beautiful, full of history, and gives much more information on the characters.

A shame and a sham.

I cannot believe Conroy gave permission for this very limited way of portraying one of his best books.

The music is highly irritating and ill chosen.
Not worth my credit.

Not as good as the real book
