The Prince of Tides

“A brilliant novel that ultimately affirms life, hope and the belief that one’s future need not be contaminated by a monstrous past.”  — Chicago Tribune

“A masterpiece that can compare with Steinbeck’s East of Eden. … Some books make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think. The Prince of Tides is a rarity: It does all three.”   — Detroit Free Press

“This is a powerful book. ... Conroy is a master of language.”  — Atlanta Journal

“A big, sprawling saga of a novel. …The kind you hole up with and spend some days with and put down feeling you have emerged from a terrible, wonderful spell.” — San Francisco Chronicle

“Teeming with the blows and victories of three generations…The Prince of Tides is Southern to the bone, in its generational saga, as well as its primeval geography of the heart.”  — Boston Globe Sunday Magazine
