When I first saw the cover of the book in my Literature class,I thought it would be some serious,weirdo novel....and I was right..it is serious but not weird!It was simply amazing.I don;t think I'ver read a book that touched me so much!It was something that provided me a lot of insight about the country of South Arica and it's problems.It made me fall in love with the country!

3.0 out of 5 stars This book was very hard for me to understand at first, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cry, the Beloved Country: A Novel of South Africa: (A Study) (Twayne's Masterwork Studies) (No 69) (Hardcover)

In my honors english class, I had to read this book and do a book talk on it. At first, I thought it would be very fun to read because it was easy for me to understand, but as I kept reading it, the book was boring. Now, I have to do an essay on the author's purpose and I've been going through some comments on what other people said about the book, and I saw something touching. Not knowingly, this book touched my heart all of a sudden...
