Book Reviews of Cry, the Beloved Country (Oprah's Book Club)
Book Review: A first-rate story of racism and re-education in South Africa...
Summary: 5 Stars
Alan Paton's novel, 'Cry the Beloved Country,' remains one of the most popular and beloved books because of the themes it explores and its knowledgeable portrayel of life in South Africa. Even though it is a fairly old book, its themes have remained important in South Africa today. As this country struggles with a post-Apartheid past and current racial divides, this book remains important. It tells the story of a black priest and his involvement in the trial of a young black man and a powerful white landowner. Even though the trial has a sad outcome, the priest and the white man learn to forgive and accept differences so it isn't all in vain. A must-read for anyone interested in this great country and its current or past issues.
