An American expatriate in Rome unearths his family legacy in this sweeping novel by the acclaimed author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini

A Southerner living abroad, Jack McCall is scarred by tragedy and betrayal. His desperate desire to find peace after his wife’s suicide draws him into a painful, intimate search for the one haunting secret in his family’s past that can heal his anguished heart. Spanning three generations and two continents, from the contemporary ruins of the American South to the ancient ruins of Rome, from the unutterable horrors of the Holocaust to the lingering trauma of Vietnam, Beach Music sings with life’s pain and glory. It is a novel of lyric intensity and searing truth, another masterpiece among Pat Conroy’s legendary and beloved novels.

Džeks Makols, dienvidnieks, kurš dzīvo ārzemēs, ir dziļi ievainots traģēdijas un nodevības dēļ. Izmisīga vēlme atrast mieru pēc sievas pašnāvības viņu ved sāpīgā un personiskā ceļojumā, lai atklātu vienu noslēpumu savas ģimenes pagātnē, kas varētu dziedēt viņa ievainoto sirdi.

Romāns aptver trīs paaudzes un divus kontinentus, sākot no mūsdienu sabrukušās Amerikas Dienvidu un seno Romas drupu, līdz pat neaprakstāmiem Holokausta šausmām un ilgstošajai Vjetnamas kara traumai. Beach Music izdzied dzīves sāpes un skaistumu – liriska un patiesa proza, vēl viens meistardarbs Pat Konroja leģendāro un iemīļoto romānu klāstā.
