I read this one nearly six months ago. It was fantastic. My Dad had been begging me to read this book for decades. He did us a solid and flew out to watch our kids while the Mrs. and I went on our 15-year anniversary trip. So as his reward, I thoughtfully started reading this just before he flew out and finished it up during our trip. I understand why he wanted me to read it so much. It's got so much heart and tenderness and empathy. I don't choke up much when I read books, but I just about did toward the end of this one. Of Paton's books, "Cry, the Beloved Country" gets all the recognition, but I think this one outclasses it, and by a wide margin. Highly recommend. But only if you like good literature and want to be inspired.
