The Promise / Damon Galgut

Livre

Galgut, Damon (1963-....). Auteur

Uitgegeven door Vintage UK. London - 2022

The “promise” of the title is a literal one, made by Rachel before she dies: to give a house on the farm to their black servant, Salome. It’s also a metaphorical one. Over the years, as members of the family find reasons to deny or defer Salome’s inheritance, the moral promise – the potential, or expectation – of the next generation of South Africans, and of the nation itself, is shown to be just as compromised as that of their parents. Texte en anglais.
