About This Item
Eighth print. Book in as new condition. Unclipped DJ in fine condition with a tiny bit of creasing to the tail of the spine. Signed by Galgut on a dedicated bookplate attached to the title page. 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.
