About this listen
This is the most distinguished novel that has come out of South Africa in the 20th century, and it is one of the most important novels that has appeared anywhere in modern times. Cry, the Beloved Country is in some ways a sad book; it is an indictment of a social system that drives native races into resentment and crime; it is a story of Fate, as inevitable, as relentless, as anything of Thomas Hardy's. Beautifully wrought with high poetic compassion, Cry, the Beloved Country is more than just a story, it is a profound experience of the human spirit. And beyond the intense and insoluble personal tragedy, it is the story of the beautiful and tragic land of South Africa, its landscape, its people, and its bitter racial ferment and unrest.

Excellent story, well written and well motivated
As a bonus I would also recommend this book to anyone trying to read a book as part of their ESL journey. Simple English with lots of things said more than once for dramatic emphasis.
There's a reason they made me read it in school, clearly

Beloved Country - still crying out
Re-reading it for the umpteenth time. Excellent book, still painfully relevant to today's South Africa.

Such a sensitive reader - I could listen forever!
I read this book many years ago, and this sensitive narrator made it come to life.
