Title: One of best American books of recent decades
Product review: This book is stunning as a coming of age story, and a thriller of the highest order because the story appears to be largely true - the turns of the plot are completely unexpected and gripping. This is one of the best books I've read in years. Together with other books of Pat Conroy that I've read, The Water is Wide and Prince of Tides, a heroic character emerges - someone who triumped over trials of agonizing proportions, who was gifted with life events that made for a gripping story, and the ability to tell that story with literary flair.
