Promise - Damon Galgut
Tax included.
A taut and menacing novel that charts the crash and burn of an Afrikaans family, the Swarts. Punctuated by funerals that bring the ever-diminishing family together, each of the four parts opens with a death and a new decade.
The characterisations are razor sharp, the dialogue dramatic, the action gripping.
As we traverse the decades, Damon interweaves the story of a disappointed nation from apartheid to Jacob Zuma.
