Cry the beloved country book cover5/15/2023 Cry, The Beloved Country book review, therefore, finds its voice from a place and perspective primitive to reason and native to the human condition.Ĭry, The Beloved Country is a compelling account of lives defined by racial segregation. Unexpectedly, and to my benefit, Alan Paton’s classic jostled me to rethink the nature of stance, a book can choose while choosing to speak truth to its readers. Little did I know that I was going into an ideal book but with the wrong ideals. Promising a profound insight into a nation’s consciousness streaming from the upheaval in its moral constitution, the book seemed to be a convincing fit. I was familiar neither with the author nor with the book’s stature. Predictably so, while browsing at a local bookstore, I arrived at Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton. It is also in my erratic instinct that I naively look up to a narrative built on objective reasoning to champion a rather humanitarian argument. It is in my ferocious appetite for stories documenting the perils of separating people from the notion of a nation that I am drawn to books addressing this displacement.
