A review by jmarchek
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton

4.0

March 2009 book club selection - great choice Erika.

I was amazed that this book written so long ago yet felt so relevant. I like the parallels between the two sons and fathers. It really makes you think about mercy, hope, forgiveness, and equality. At first the language makes your brain stretch a little and you feel like you're in freshman english, but the brain cells kick in and it is a very enjoyable read.
