I just finished South of Broad. I wish that there were still another 300 pages to read. Mr. Conroy has a wonderful way with words. My favorite author, Ken Follett, also puts the best words in the best order. I once referred to him as the "goat." Now Mr. Conroy has joined the fray and now it's the Jordan and James debate for me in the book world, lol!

South of Broad is indeed a great book of Pat's - it has some detractors but it is mostly loved. It is a complex narrative running on various tracks sometimes parallel. I wouldn't be surprised if some smart producer would take it to the screen... Thank you for writing.
