Synopsis
Pat Conroy's first novel in almost 15 years simultaneously acts as a portrait of a single man, a family, and a city. The man is Leopold Bloom King and the city is Charleston, South Carolina, Conroy's own home town. Leo's father is a high school science teacher, and his mother is that school's principal and a renowned scholar of James Joyce. The defining moment in the lives of these three is the teenage suicide of Leo's older brother, an event which continues to resonate through the relationships of the Kings forever after. Leo eventually finds solace with an eclectic mix of high school friends who challenge the racist traditions of Charleston during the tumultuous 1960s. Two decades later, the same stubborn spirit and determined individuality which allowed the friends to break down the oppressive barriers of Charleston has propelled them in very different directions, and they must reunite to try to rescue one of their number from the AIDS epidemic which ravaged San Francisco in the 1980s. Conroy's extravagant language is in full effect, as he brilliantly evokes Leo's participation in history, as seen through the filter of memory.

From Publishers Weekly

Charleston, S.C., gossip columnist Leopold Bloom King narrates a paean to his hometown and friends in Conroy's first novel in 14 years. In the late '60s and after his brother commits suicide, then 18-year-old Leo befriends a cross-section of the city's inhabitants: scions of Charleston aristocracy; Appalachian orphans; a black football coach's son; and an astonishingly beautiful pair of twins, Sheba and Trevor Poe, who are evading their psychotic father. The story alternates between 1969, the glorious year Leo's coterie stormed Charleston's social, sexual and racial barricades, and 1989, when Sheba, now a movie star, enlists them to find her missing gay brother in AIDS-ravaged San Francisco. Too often the not-so-witty repartee and the narrator's awed voice (he is very fond of superlatives) overwhelm the stories surrounding the group's love affairs and their struggles to protect one another from dangerous pasts. Some characters are tragically lost to the riptides of love and obsession, while others emerge from the frothy waters of sentimentality and nostalgia as exhausted as most readers are likely to be. Fans of Conroy's florid prose and earnest melodramas are in for a treat. (Aug.)
