Pat Conroy’s New York Times–bestselling Southern drama about the destructive repercussions of keeping an unspeakable family secret Tom Wingo has lost his job, and is on the verge of losing his marriage, when he learns that his twin sister, Savannah, has attempted suicide again. At the behest of Savannah’s psychiatrist, Dr. Susan Lowenstein, Tom reluctantly leaves his home in South Carolina to … home in South Carolina to travel to New York City and aid in his sister’s therapy.
As Tom’s relationship with Susan deepens, he reveals to her the turbulent history of the Wingo family, and exposes the truth behind the fateful day that changed their lives forever.
Drawing richly from the author’s own troubled upbringing, The Prince of Tides is a sweeping, powerful novel of unlocking the past to overcome the darkest of personal demons—it’s Pat Conroy at his very best.

Beautiful writing
Enjoyed this book
Brilliant read! Very upsetting but I couldn’t put it down.
I love everything Pay Conroy wrote. Prince of Tides is my favorite and probably my all time favorite book! I currently have it to read for the third time in my download! A must read for anyone who craves relationship novels and an in-depth family story.
One of my top 10 favorite books ever!!
This is a classic. Read it twice. That should tell you it’s worth reading.
Great southern family drama. Sad, funny and ultimately uplifting.
One of Pat Conroy’s best. Colorful characters with interesting experiences living in the low country sections of South Carolina/ Georgia. It’s a story of family, community and individual experiences of life in the 20th century in the tidal south.
Excellent book. This is the first Pat Conroy book I’ve read, but it won’t be the last. Excellent writing, great plot and character development, unpredictable, I could SEE this book in my head as I read it.
A powerful book, interesting characters, dysfunctional family, sarcastic humor, great writing.
One of the best books I have ever read. Pat Conroe is my all-time favorite author.
