Industry Reviews
"...when Conroy writes about the pleasures of eating boiled crab on tables covered with yesterday's newspaper, when he celebrates the low country's amphibious charms or confronts his mixed feelings about bubba culture, there are flashes of a gifted novelist."
Time - R. Z. Sheppard (06/26/1995)
"Rich in haunting imagery and seductive, suspenseful storytelling, a worthy successor to 'The Prince of Tides'."
Vanity Fair - John Berendt
"'Beach Music' is a chaotic, often exasperating but completely lovable novel."
Washington Post Book World - Brigitte Weeks (07/02/1995)
"'Beach Music' is one of those delicious novels that has everything to make your weekend-with-a-book great: characters that stick to your ribs, dialogue that can crackle as sharply as twigs in a campfire. It has intelligence, it has heart. It is suffused with Conroy's regional sense, with the tragedy and loss that hang over the post-Civil War South like a miasma, causing it to spend too much of its substance on an impersonation of itself. Best, it has Conroy the storyteller at full throttle, as if he were pounding it out on two or three typewriters at the same time."
Chicago Tribune Books - Judith Dunford (07/16/1995)
"South Carolina overflows from his pages, sentimental and unforgiving, soft as sleepy pears and hard as turtle shells."
San Francisco Review of Books - Kate Fitzsimmons
"...emotionally suspenseful....'Beach Music' is clearly his best yet."
Murray
"'Beach Music' is blockbuster writing at its best. A whole passel of people are going to stay awake late this summer compulsively turning its 640 pages before they close it in satisfaction."
Sheppard
