Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
2.25
challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The sins of the white man do not exist according to this author. It was a difficult read, I enjoyed the narrative but the idea that the white man is so complacent in this injustice just did not sit right. Further, the white man savior complex is madness.
