Review:
Readers know what they are going to get when they pick up an unfamiliar Alice Munro collection, and yet almost every page carries a bounty of unexpected action, feeling, language, and detail. Her stories are always unique, blazing an invigorating originality out of her seemingly commonplace subjects. Each collection develops her oeuvre in increments, subtly expanding her range.

Review:
This book was ok, it was a nice atemept to show how people live after death but for the most part it was very wordy. I felt it hung to much and at times it was very confusing when they were changing stories. It was almost as if he wasn't sure how to bring the stories together. It was a good message but I feel that he could have portrayed it in a differant way. maybe he ment to move people with this book, but I know at the end of it, I was just dazed and confused about the whole thing.

Book description
Cry, the Beloved Country is a beautifully told and profoundly compassionate story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son Absalom, set in the troubled and changing South Africa of the 1940s. The book is written with such keen empathy and understanding that to read it is to share fully in the gravity of the characters' situations. It both touches your heart deeply and inspires a renewed faith in the dignity of mankind. Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic tale, passionately African, timeless and universal, and beyond all, selfless.
