About this listen

Towards the end of the Great Depression a young boy goes with his sister to stay at a farm while their mother is ill. There, during a scorching African summer, he witnesses a trial and punishment which will forever remind him of white men's cruelty to black people.

The Night Country is a fable for all ages – a powerful account of the strength that lives within us all.
