Reviews for Ah But Your Land Is Beautiful

One cannot read this book without the total absorption that comes from the recognition of the truth -- Nadine Gordimer * New Republic * As vigorous and as exquisitely written as anything he has produced * New York Times Book Review * Vivid and telling... Alan Paton may have come closer to conveying the essence of South African history than anyone else * Washington Post Book World *
