«El primer verano de nuestras vidas» is the novel by Pat Conroy, published by Grijalbo in paperback (592 pages, in Spanish).
In the summer of 1969, Leo King, solitary and still mourning his sister, guides the new students at the Charleston school where his mother is principal. Race, class, and character separate them, but coexistence forges a lasting friendship among them. The novel portrays the social tensions of the American South and the strength of adolescent bonds.
The novel was originally published in English as 'South of Broad', translated by Ana Eiroa Guillén, and belongs to Grijalbo's 'Ficción' collection.
A novel aimed at adult readers, close to contemporary fiction and Southern narrative; it frequently appears in reading clubs.
Donald Patrick Conroy was an American author who wrote several acclaimed novels and memoirs; his books The Water Is Wide, The Lords of Discipline, The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini were made into films, the last two being nominated for Oscars. He is recognized as a leading figure of late-20th-century American Southern literature.
