Staff Recommendation: South of Broad

Conroy’s long awaited new novel, set mostly in Charleston, explores the power of salvation through friendship. While Leopold Bloom King is haunted by his popular older brother's suicide and taking the blame for a crime he didn’t commit, he forms a complex and unlikely friendship with a group of diverse characters that help one another survive their dark pasts.
