In this novel,Conroy tells the story of a dysfunctional small town South Carolinian family and the story of good friends growing up in the 1960s. Revealing characters' histories, Conroy weaves background accounts that range from the Nazis' persecution of the Jews, to the anti-war movement of the '60s, to current life in Rome. This is a good summer vacation read.
