I just finished reading The Lords of Discipline, and it has left me reeling for the whole day. What a hauntingly beautiful work. Reading this book I felt transported to another world, the balmy streets of Charleston, and I didn't want to leave! It made this Virginia boy miss the special charms of home. Also it was very moving to see the struggles and camaraderie of young men united in a common bond, and the sensitive, conflicted soul of Will McLean both resisting and appreciating the rituals of the Institute. Thank you for writing this book, Pat Conroy, and God Bless
