This is a softcover book, Cry, The Beloved Country, by Alan Paton.  It is a 2003 First Scribner trade paperback edition.  The New Republic called it, "The greatest novel to emerge out of the tragedy of South Africa, and one of the best novels of our time."  Here's a synopsis from the publisher:

"Cry, the Beloved Country, was an immediate worldwide bestseller when it was published in 1948. Alan Paton's impassioned novel about a black man's country under white man's law is a work of searing beauty. Cry, the Beloved Country, is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son, Absalom, set against the background of a land and a people riven by racial injustice. 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."

Book shows a little wear but nothing noteworthy.  Pages are all intact and clean, binding is tight, and there's no writing in it.  Asking $3.00 obo.  Everything I have listed for sale is "or best offer", so feel free to make an offer.
