Cry, The Beloved Country

Description for CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY by Alan Paton:

CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY stands as a singularly important novel in twentieth-century South African literature. A work of searing beauty, CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son Absalom, set against the background of South Africa and a people driven by racial injustice. Unforgettable for character and incident, it is a novel of love and hope, courage and endurance, born of the dignity of man.
