Galgut, Damon:
The promise
London : Vintage Digital, 2021.
Aus dem Englischen.
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, including 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. As each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled. 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.
