DESCRIPTION: \nBook Club\nThis month we will be reading\n\nThe Promise by Damon Galgut\
 n\nThe Promise tells the story of a family and a nation under apartheid. \n
 “There is nothing unusual or remarkable about the Swart family, oh no, they
  resemble the family from the next farm and the one beyond that, just an or
 dinary bunch of white South Africans, and if you don’t believe it then list
 en to us speak...\nThe many voices of The Promise tell a story in four snap
 shots, each one centered on a family funeral, each one happening in a diffe
 rent decade. In the background, a different president is in power, and a di
 fferent spirit hangs over the country, while in the foreground the family f
 ights over what they call their farm, on a worthless piece of land outside 
 Pretoria.\nOver large jumps in time, people get older, faces and laws and l
 ives all change, while a brother and sister circle around a promise made lo
 ng ago, and never kept ...” (Penguin Random House)\nThis novel is the 2021 
 Booker Prize Winner. The Booker judges describe it as “a strong, unambiguou
 s commentary on the history of South Africa and of humanity itself that can
  best be summed up in the question: does true justice exist in this world?”
 \n\nFiction, 272 pages\nWe hope you can join us for a discussion of this aw
 ard-winning novel.\n\nFuture Book Club Reads (for more information see the 
 calendar entry):\nJune 15: The Magician by Colm Tóibín\nAugust 17: Buddenbr
 ooks: The Decline of a Family by Thomas Mann, translated by John E. Wood. N
 ote: we recommend this 1994 translation, which is considered closer to the 
 original than the 1924 translation by Helen T. Lowe-Porter.\n\n\n\n\n
