Tom Wingo comes to New York to help his twin sister Savannah, a talented poet. Trying to solve her problems, he looks for an answer in the complex history of their unusual family, filled with dramatic events and upheavals. Tom relives his childhood years, assessing them from the perspective of a mature person... The novel “The Prince of Tides” is a real saga about pain and joy, sensitivity and alienation, childhood fears and the ghosts of adulthood. A film adaptation of the novel of the same name (in 1991 with Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte starring) was nominated for an Oscar and received a Golden Globe.
