A review by smartipants8
Country of My Skull: Guilt, Sorrow, and the Limits of Forgiveness in the New South Africa by Antjie Krog

5.0

The fact that she is a poet is what made this book so special, in my opinion. Her struggle to reconcile her life of privelege as a white afrikaaner with the stories she heard during the truth and reconciliation process touched me and made me want to understand what happens in the minds of those who profit when others are suffering...do they know? Do they not know? Do they know somewhere and make adjustments?
