Description

The Promise by Damon Galgut A family in crisis gathers for the funeral of their matriarch, but the past refuses to stay buried. As the younger generation confronts the legacy of their family's actions, one question hangs over them: can you ever escape the repercussions of a broken promise? On a farm outside Pretoria, the Swarts have made a vow that has been carefully ignored. The treatment of the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life is a painful reminder of the family's troubled history. As the years pass and the family reunites, the consequences of this broken promise continue to reverberate. A powerful and moving family epic, The Promise is a stunning exploration of the complexities of family, power, and identity.
