I read the first half before going to sleep last night and finished this morning as soon as I woke up. I feel like I've just spent several hours visiting with an old friend, and now his death has hit me all over again. It destroys me that we will never read another one of his stories again, so I'm going to have to go back and re-read his others (I may even go back and finish South of Broad, which
Sigh. I have read them all. Pat Conroy's fiction and memoirs and essays and tales of those who make you savor life in a new way. Oh how I wish he'd finished his last novel before he died this year. Thankfully every book is worth another read...or two...or three...RIP Pat
What can you ever say about the lovely Pat Conroy... This is an author that I've turned to over the years in my happiest moments and my darkest days. A Lowcountry Heart is such a wonderful way to remember this amazing and brilliant author who gave so much of himself to his readers. This is a collection of stories, blog posts, backstories and love for a GREAT author - who will make you love, laugh and cry with his words. I cannot thank NetGalley and Penguin Random House enough for the honor of
