The Promise by Damon Galgut

 Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021--San Antonio

The Promise by Damon Galgut received great reviews by BBC, The Observer, and The Times.  Set in South Africa, it is the story of the members of an Africaans farming family and the members of the family of their Black servan.  It covers approximately a 50-year period of time from when apartheid existed to recently.  It reveals the changes that take place in South Africa related to race relations, economics, religion, and politics.  It is well written and worth reading.  I give it 4 stars out of 5.
