"A masterpiece than can compare with Steinbeck's East Of Eden. Some books make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think. The Prince of Tides is a rarity: It does all three." ~Detroit Free Press. "A brilliant novel that ultimately affirms life, hope and the belief that one's future need not be contaminated by a monstrous past." ~Chicago Tribune.
The author's 5th book and 3rd novel. Made into the 1991 movie directed by Barbara Streisand and Conroy co-scripted the film adaptation featuring Nick Nolte.
