Book Review of The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son

The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son


Have always liked Pat Conroy's books and this is no exception. He writes about his early life; his relationship with his mother, father and siblings; and takes it through to his father's death. Conroy himself fought depression all his life and how it affected his relationship with his family, including several wives, is revealing. Also a good insight in what it means to be an "Army brat" and how it impacts your life. I liked it a lot.
