Cry, The Beloved Country Review by Porshia Tolbert

After reading this book, I realize that a lot of people get treated bad for no reason. Segeration was a huge part of this book and it made it even more touching in many ways. Cry,The Beloved Country is a book that makes me want to bring everyone together as a unit. From reading this book I have learned that we live a wonderful life compared to those in other countries. I would definetly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see how it feels to be in a place that we as Americans are not in.

Cry the Beloved

Alan Paton's Cry the Beloved Country is an eye opening look into 1940's South Africa. The main character pastor Stephen Kumalo tries to save his family from the trap that is the city of Johannesburg. Once in Johannesburg Kumalo quickly realizes hard life is in the white dominated society and how easy it is to fall into the trap. The book does start off a bit slow but by the middle it will have you sucked in. Paton vividly shows how crupt people can be but also shows how good hearted people can be. If you are looking for a book with emotion and life lessons this is a must read.

Eye opening!!!!!!

After reading Cry, the Beloved Country I realized how terrible the situation is in South Africa. I knew it was in bad condition now but to actually feel like I was there really made me realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side. This book had its emotional moments; for instance when Stephen Kumalo finds out all the situation his son Absalom is put in. I recommend this book to anyone who has an opened mind, and wants to learn more about cultural differences.

SOUTH AFRICA WRITTEN BEAUTIFULLY

CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY EMBRACES ALL THAT IS BEAUTIFUL IN SOUTH AFRICA AND AT THE SAME TIME REVEALS HARDSHIPS ENDURED DURING THE APARTHEID. THIS NOVEL IS A VERY HISTORICALLY ENHANCING READ SURROUNDED BY A STORY OF LOVE, FAMILY AND ENDURANCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NOVEL AS A QUICK BUT GREAT READ CAPTURING THE READER'S HEART EARLY IN THE STORY.
