This a profoundly moving and insightful book that delves into South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hearings. The book combines memoir, reportage, and poetry to convey the personal and collective trauma experienced during the apartheid era.

As a journalist, Antjie Krog covered the TRC hearings and provides an intimate, first-hand account of the emotional and psychological impact on both the victims and the perpetrators. Krogs narrative captures the complexities of seeking truth and reconciliation in a nation scarred by decades of racial injustice and violence.

Country of My Skull is not only a historical documentation but also a deeply personal exploration of identity, memory, and the possibility of healing and forgiveness. It is a powerful reflection on the human condition and the struggle for justice and understanding in the face of immense suffering.
