Book description
Pat Conroy's The Prince of Tides isn't just read-it's felt, especially as an audiobook. The novel's raw, sprawling family drama finds its perfect vessel in the spoken word. Narrator David Pittu doesn't just tell Tom Wingo's story; he makes you hear the Georgia coast wind, feel Savannah's fierce vulnerability, and sit in the charged silence of a family's unspoken trauma. Conroy's prose-described as a "huge, brash thunderstorm"-comes alive with Pittu's rhythm, his pacing matching the novel's relentless emotional tide. You don't just learn about the Wingo family's dark past; you're pulled into it, word by word, as Pittu's voice carries the weight of decades of pain and resilience. The audiobook elevates Conroy's already powerful narrative, turning pages into pulses. Scenes of Savannah's poetry or Tom's desperate attempts to protect his sister gain new urgency when voiced-every whispered secret, every shouted confession lands with visceral impact. It's impossible not to lean in, to feel the tension in your own throat during the novel's most devastating moments. This isn't passive listening; it's an immersion. The audio format makes the family's chaos intimate, their healing fragile, their love almost tangible. Conroy's "stinging honesty" resonates deeper when you hear it spoken, not just seen on a page. You'll find yourself pausing the audiobook just to process the emotional weight of a single line, then pressing play again, drawn back into the storm. For anyone who loves stories where language itself becomes a character, this audiobook is essential. It doesn't just tell you about the Wingo family's pain-it makes you carry it with them, for the full, unforgettable journey.

🏡 Making house chores more enjoyable – audiobooks help me stay engaged while tidying up the living space. 🏠📚 ListenBook has become my workout buddy. It's seamlessly integrated with Apple Watch. I’d listen to this narrator read anything! Their voice was so expressive and fitting for the material. The story itself was great, but the narration took it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star experience. A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression.
