Few stories illustrate the gritty realism of the search for reconciliation better than Alan Paton’s novel portraying a Zulu pastor and his family in a beautiful land torn apart by racial injustice. This heart-wrenching account played a part in what was called “the South African miracle.” At a time when living with our differences has become a worldwide issue, it still strikes deep and timeless themes: the longing for racial understanding, the bonds of offender and victim, the anguish of fathers for sons, the fellowship of suffering, and the miracle of forgiveness.
