Cry, The Beloved Country is the book that the late Alan Paton is best known for. He used his own experiences in Kwa-Zulu and as headmaster of Diepkloof reformatory to write this moving epic of South Africa during the Apartheid years. This is one of the definitive South African novels. Any reader who can finish this book with eyes still dry has missed the essence of South Africa that Paton wove into this book.
