msrdr 's review for:

Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
4.0

This was a beautiful story, a good read, and an emotionally challenging reconciliation; a picture of South Africa that was foreign and yet familiar to me, a now long-time South African emigrant.

Cry, The Beloved Country is a parable like story, using simple and elegant prose to tell a sad and ultimately uplifting story of suffering and redemption.
