Our narrator is none other than Tom Wingo and it is here that we learn of Tom’s parents, his elder brother named Luke, and the twin sister of Tom, Savannah. The Wingos of South Carolina are the family that are at the forefront of The Prince of Tides, one of Conroy’s most magnificent works, ever. The novel’s page count is in the six-hundred-odd range. To this day, it stands as both one of the most popular Pat Conroy books and one of the best-selling Pat Conroy books, too. The Prince of Tides is a standalone novel, which was published in the year of 1986. Now, with that said, let’s take a look at the best Pat Conroy books. This less than pleasant family situation is present in many of the works of Pat. It was in Beaufort, South Carolina that the family settled down for a while, where Pat finished high school.Ĭonroy was vocal about the way that he was brought up, namely the pains and struggles of living with his father, a Marine Corps pilot, that was oftentimes psychologically and physically mistreated his children. The father of Pat and his work forced the family to move around a lot, so much so that Pat had gone to nearly a dozen schools by the age of fifteen.
