Product Description

The Promise charts the crash & 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 & 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 l&... yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.

The narrator's eye shifts & blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams; deliciously lethal in its observation. & 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 & tender emotional truths hit home. Confident, deft & quietly powerful, The Promise is literary fiction at its finest.
