South Carolina is one of those states where my heart beat changes when I am in it. And any book that captures its feel and smell will be a book that I love. Probably why Beach Music will always and forever be one of my favorite books of all time.
We vacation in SC every other year, and have read a lot of books set there. Mary Alice Monroe is another SC author I like.
Thanks guys! I added them both in!
I lived in South Carolina during Jr. High and High School. Pat Conroy's "The Great Santini" made me want to visit Beaufort, never made it there, though. All of Conroy's novels capture the state beautifully.
Dale - I've never read any of Conroy's novels, but now I think I will!
I like your Reading the States series. Check out my Take Me Away posts on Saturdays, which is similar except countries instead of states. I am getting some good adds for my TBR from your posts. :)
Becca - Countries would be fun to do! I can think of so many in Italy and England.
