This book is from the same author who wrote "The Prince of Tides" and "The Great Santini". I haven't had a chance to read it yet but here's an excerpt from the back cover to give you an idea of what it's about: "Pat Conroy....delivers a sweeping new 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." "Beach Music" received rave reviews from major publications, such as "The Washington Post", "The Denver Post", "Houston Chronicle", and "The Los Angeles Times Book Review."
