Country of My Skull: Guilt, Sorrow, and the Limits of Forgiveness in the New South Africa by Antjie Krog

4.0

This is a quite skillful book. It combines personal narrative, poetry, political theory, and a retelling of the truth commission. Despite how long it took me to finish this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It ended up dragging because of my lack of background knowledge on apartheid. There was a lot mentioned that I really didn't grasp because I don't know the atrocities or context.
