Cry The Beloved Country

As I've said we have started reading << Cry The Beloved Country >> . It's a story that shows the difference between the white's lifestyle in South Africa and the blacks. 
The pastor Steven Kumalo receives a letter from Johannesburg saying that his sister is sick. He then decides to go into the city to find her, once there he get's tricked by a little boy who says will go buy his bus ticket but ends up runing away with the money. He finds his sister who is not actually sick but is doing drugs and has one son. Kumalo puts her and her son at the house he is staying at, and he leaves one day with a friend to go find his lost son. Kumalo first stops at his brother's store, they talk for a while . After hours of searching they can't find him, they end up returning with no luck.
I like the book so far, I find it interesting . The words are not too difficult to understand and the story is captivating.
