South of Broad

On Monday we talked about Pat Conroy's new book with contrasting opinions. Some didn't like it at all, others liked it quite a lot. "Over the top," was often heard in the discussions about several of the characters. And, why was the suicide mentioned at the very beginning and end, but nothing in between? Jane would have liked a hundred pages on that dramatic event. The scene on The Citadel campus, as it turns out, is one that Cadets have imagined happening "for real." Let's hope not. All in all, I'm looking forward to reading this book over the holidays. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
