"A masterpiece that can compare with Steinbeck's East of Eden. ... Some books make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think. The Prince of Tides is a rarity: It does all three." -- Detroit Free Press

A modern American classic and a sweeping family saga that spans decades, this powerful work of Southern literary fiction is the story of the volatile Tom Wingo, his brilliant but troubled twin sister, Savannah, and the complex and damaging legacy of their dysfunctional family. Moving between the sparkling glamour of New York City and the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country, The Prince of Tides is Pat Conroy's masterwork.

"A big, sprawling saga of a novel...the kind you hole up with and spend some days with and put down feeling you have emerged from a terrible, wonderful spell." --San Francisco Chronicle

"A literary gem . . . The Prince of Tides is in the best tradition of novel writing. It is an engrossing story of unforgettable characters." --The Pittsburgh Press
