Book 2: Cry, The Beloved Country

The main reason why I believe Paton chose to split Cry, The Beloved Country into two books is to show a different perspective. More than doing something original to keep the reader interested its also interesting. It for one, can illustrates how two people can have completely different views of the same thing. In this case the central idea will still probably be racism. Furthermore it illustrates how lives can overlap and effect each other.
