South of Broad is the latest novel by Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides. It is set in Charleston, South Carolina and chronicles the lives and loves of a group of teenagers who met in 1969 and follows their careers and struggles through the maze of marriages, class divisions, and racial strife. The group reunites after twenty years to go to San Francisco to rescue one of their group who is missing and feared dead. I thought the prose to be a bit ornate, but Mr. Conroy is an excellent story teller.
