I Started reading Pat Conroy’s books by accident . I had never heard of him. But one day while I was in a book shop in Cairo I saw the title of his book The Prince of Tides and after buying it I couldn’t put it down till I finished it and when I returned to same bookstore I found his one more of his books (Beach Music) so when I traveled to South Carolina where my older brother lived with his American wife, I made sure that I bought all of his books. After his passing I bought a book about him called A Lowcountry Heart which is a reflection on his writing life. I often read his books over and over. There’s really no one like him. My brother used to drive me around Mr. Pat Conroy’s home while I was in Beaufort. I sometimes wish that at the time I had enough courage to go up to his door and let him know that he was so loved and respected by an Egyptian woman .

Wonderful to hear Pat's books reached far away lands. I am very pleased you read A Lowcountry Heart... my name is in that book in Pat's first essay and then later in Cassandra's acknowledgments. Pat's books were translated in many, many languages. Thank you for writing this.
