Savannah is one of the most gifted poets of her generation\, and both the cadenced beauty of her art and the jumbled cries of her illness are clues to the too-long-hidden story of her wounded family. In the paneled offices and luxurious restaurants of New York City\, Tom and Susan Lowenstein\, Savannah’s psychiatrist\, unravel a history of violence\, abandonment\, commitment\, and love. And Tom realizes that trying to save his sister is perhaps his last chance to save himself. \nWith passion and a rare gift of language\, Pat Conroy moves from present to past\, tracing the amazing history of the Wingos from World War II through the final days of the war in Vietnam and into the 1980s\, drawing a rich range of characters: the lovable\, crazy Mr. Fruit\, who for decades has wordlessly directed traffic at the same intersection in the southern town of Colleton; Reese Newbury\, the ruthless\, patrician land speculator who threatens the Wingos’ only secure worldly possession\, Melrose Island; Herbert Woodruff\, Susan Lowenstein’s husband\, a world-famous violinist; Tolitha Wingo\, Savannah’s mentor and eccentric grandmother\, the first real feminist in the Wingo family. \nPat Conroy reveals the lives of his characters with surpassing depth and power\, capturing the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country and a lost way of life.
