Book Reviews of Cry, the Beloved Country (Oprah's Book Club)

Book Review: Sensibility and political accuracy
Summary: 5 Stars

Whenever we finish a great book we feel a deep sorrow, just as we were leaving behind good friends. When you finish this specific book, you'll feel like crying, for the loss of friends like Rev. Kumalo is very hard to take.

"Cry, the beloved country"is one of the best books I have ever read. You can feel the passion for South Africa that Mr. Paton felt, you will be touched by the Rev. Kumalo's search, and will feel frail, just like he did. But that is not all this book has to offer. It is also an accusation agains the prepotent owners of the power and an accurate description of Apartheid long before it has become legal.

You will become involved with this story and will not be able to put this book down. If you want to read an excellent book, pick this one and I can assure you will not be disapointed.
