Bravo. Best novel I have read since Goon Squad. Brilliant prose. Narrator shifts perspective until it feels he’s captured the whole world. Funny and just beautiful.

Well written , but so depressing. Well written, though hard to connect to the characters. And oh so depressing. Be ready for this one. Not sure it’s the time for it. Still all in all a good read.

Stunning writing. Moving story, uniquely told.

The Promise: Spoiler Alert. A sad story about a dysfunctional white family in South Africa over a 30 year period. The characters seemed shallow, synthetic, and simplistic. The white family children Anton and Astrid were portrayed as spoiled, rich kids who wasted their lives while their little sister Amor was portrayed as an unfulfilled martyr wanting to make sure the black slave Salome inherited the shack on the family property where she lived and worked with her son Lukas. Amor overheard her mother’s dying wish and her father’s promise to give the house to Salome….soon forgotten and ignored by all except Amor…for the next 30 years. The snake business seemed appropriate for the family, and dishonest Pa dying from a snake bite was definitely poetic justice. Horrible and untimely deaths of all except Amor seemed to suggest that they got what they deserved for being so selfish and unwilling to keep Pa’s promise. Hopefully, Salome will get the property and the funds from Amor, but the ending was left hanging on that as Amor climbs down from the roof to go to town with shallow Desiree. I’m left hoping lightning doesn’t strike twice before Amor can fulfill her promise.
