Reviews
We have had many novels from statesmen and reformers, almost all bad; many novels from poets, almost all thin. In Alan Paton's Cry, the Beloved Country the statesman, the poet, and the novelist meet in a unique harmony., The greatest novel to emerge out of the tragedy of South Africa, and one of the best novels of our time., A beautiful novel, rich, firm and moving...its writing is so fresh, its projection of character so immediate and full, its events so compelling, and its understanding so compassionate that to read the book is to share intimately, even to the point of catharsis, in the grave human experience.

Remarkable for its lyricism, unforgettable for character and incident, Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic work of love and hope, courage and endurance, born of the dignity of man., "The greatest novel to emerge out of the tragedy of South Africa, and one of the best novels of our time." -- The New Republic "A beautiful novel...its writing is so fresh, its projection of character so immediate and full, its events

- s***t (181)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThere was a mixup during packaging where a paperback copy was picked and shipped for a hard cover copy that was ordered. I asked the seller about it and they honestly replied that the mistake was on their end. A full refund for the item was sent immediately and I will not hesitate to order more from ZBK. Very responsive and they stand behind their items and make good on any issues.
