Emma's February Picks

[Chance]

Night
Within the scant 115 pages of this harrowing memoir is the largest and most important story I've ever read. It's a must-read for everyone.

Cry, the Beloved Country
A moving story of a Zulu pastor and his son, set against the backdrop of a land and a people separated by racial injustice. Remarkable for its lyricism, unforgettable for its characters. A classic work of lore and hope, courage and endurance borne of the dignity of man.
