A review by 16swest
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton

4.0

This book had a big impact on me when i discovered it in high school. At the time it was published, apartheid began, and it would another 40 years or so before it’s end.

Never had I read such a beautiful ending so filled with hope and courage, it brought me to tears. I experienced the rising sun through Paton’s words. I don’t remember much but I remember that, and think of it often.
