Book Review of Cry, The Beloved Country

Cry, The Beloved Country
hoopridge avatar reviewed on + 252 more book reviews


Heartbreaking story of death, faith, and redemption in South Africa during Apartheid.

Two men of God whose sons are involved on opposite sides of a murder have to deal with race, spirituality, and themselves as they come to terms with their losses.

Beautifully written. Almost poetry. A bittersweet look at what it means to be a parent of adult children who make choices you don't agree with. A classic.
