{"product_id":"book-as96","title":"Beach Music","description":"Pat Conroy is without doubt America's favorite storyteller, a writer who portrays the anguished truth of the human heart and the painful secrets of\u003cbr\u003efamilies in richly lyrical prose and unforgettable narratives. Now, in \u003ci\u003eBeach Music\u003c\/i\u003e, he tells of the dark memories that haunt generations, in a story\u003cbr\u003ethat spans South Carolina and Rome and reaches back into the unutterable terrors of the Holocaust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeach Music\u003c\/i\u003e is about Jack McCall, an American living in Rome with his young daughter, trying to find peace after the recent trauma of his wife's\u003cbr\u003esuicide. But his solitude is disturbed by the appearance of his sister-in-law, who begs him to return home, and of two school friends asking for his help in\u003cbr\u003etracking down another classmate who went underground as a Vietnam protester and never resurfaced. These requests launch Jack on a journey that encompasses the past and the present in both Europe and the American South, and that leads him to shocking--and ultimately liberating--truths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold with deep feeling and trademark Conroy humor, \u003ci\u003eBeach Music\u003c\/i\u003e is powerful and compulsively readable. It is another masterpiece in the legendary\u003cbr\u003elist of classics that his body of work has already become.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePAT CONROY is the author of five previous books: \u003ci\u003eThe Boo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Water Is Wide\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Santini\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lords of Discipline\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Prince of Tides\u003c\/i\u003e, the last four of which were made into feature films.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49338535051568,"sku":"BDas96","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/171433-as96-Square.jpg?v=1733998163","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-as96","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
