Krátky popis
The Promise charts the crash and burn of a white South African
family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering
for Ma's funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest
everything the family stand for - not least the failed promise to
the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life. After years
of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land... yet
somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.
The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between
characters, flying into their dreams, deliciously lethal in its
observation. And as the country moves from old deep divisions to
its new so-called fairer society, the lost promise of more than
just one family hovers behind the novel's title. In this story of a
diminished family, sharp and tender emotional truths hit home.
Confident, deft and quietly powerful, The Promise is literary
fiction at its finest.
