I Have read The Prince of Tides every year since I first purchased it shortly after publication. Reading this novel, finished once more early this morning, is like reading my favorite poem, or the Bible--so full of beauty and horror, the amazing ying-yang of life. It is a healing read, especially for folks like me, victims and heirs to a southern upbringing. I say prayers of thanksgiving to you, Mr. Conroy.

Victoria Lambert, as you know by now Pat Conroy always speaks to his readers. There is no doubt he identifies with them, he loves them, that is why the readers like yourself respond with similar feelings. Thank you for writing...
