Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton

5.0

Cry, the Beloved Country is one of my favorite classics. Paton manages to capture both the beauty and the darkness of South Africa in the 1940s with this story of two fathers and two sons whose stories begin to interweave when the worst happens. If you love beautiful writing, this book is for you. If you love compelling yet flawed characters, this book is for you. If you love books that engage with serious social and political issues, this book is for you.
