Pat Conroy recommends

A Stranger's House (1988) Bret Lott "Bret Lott is an important artist... A beautifully crafted novel."	Domestic Pleasures (1991) Beth Gutcheon "Few in America write as well about marriage, divorce, and the family ties which both unite and torture us all. She's in a league by herself."	The Invisible Circus (1995) Jennifer Egan "If there were justice in the world, no one would be allowed to write a first novel of such beauty and accomplishment."
Valley of the Shadow (1998) Charlotte Hughes "Charlotte Hughes is the real thing."	Prague (2002) Arthur Phillips "Prague is one of those rare books that help define and identify a whole generation, in the same way that Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises introduced his own lost generation."	Sweetgrass (2005) Mary Alice Monroe "Mary Alice Monroe is helping to redefine the beauty and magic of the Carolina Lowcountry. Every book she has written has felt like a homecoming to me."
Pawley's Island (2005) (Lowcountry Tales) Dorothea Benton Frank "Hilarious and wise."	The King of Lies (2006) John Hart "The King of Lies moves and reads like a book on fire... An amazing new talent."
