Book Reviews of The Prince of Tides: A Novel

Book Review: The Novel: A collection ofshort stories held together by a dysfunctional family
Summary: 3 Stars

Last month I began to read Pat Conroy's "South of Broad. After reading just over 200 pages, I put it down-utterly disappointed in the novel. I picked up a copy of "The Prince of Tides" instead and began to read it. For the most part I enjoyed the novel about the disfunctional Wingo family. A question to Pat Conroy: Why does you insist making Henry Wingo and his children Catholics? Being a Catholic is not the same as becoming a member of a political party or a citizen of the state of SOuth Carolina. Their "professed" faith adds nothing to the story. In fact I see a anti-Catholic bias since the main characters are anything but Christian in their acts and life style. Other wise I found myself engrossed in the story, until the last two chapters and epilogue. The story just loses energy at the end (Lowenstein, Lowenstein!).

Summary of The Prince of Tides: A Novel

PAT CONROY has created a huge, brash thunderstorm of a novel, stinging with honesty and resounding with drama. Spanning forty years, this is the story of turbulent Tom Wingo, his gifted and troubled twin sister Savannah, and their struggle to triumph over the dark and tragic legacy of the extraordinary family into which they were born.

Filled with the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country as well as the dusty glitter of New York City, The Prince of Tides is PAT CONROY at his very best.
