 ette.libnet.info/event/6212949
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Haunted by an unmet promise\, the Swart fa
 mily loses touch after the death of their matriarch. Adrift\, the lives of
  the three siblings move separately through the uncharted waters of South 
 Africa\; Anton\, the golden boy who bitterly resents his life&rsquo\;s unf
 ulfilled potential\; Astrid\, whose beauty is her power\; and the youngest
 \, Amor\, whose life is shaped by a nebulous feeling of guilt. Reunited by
  four funerals over three decades\, the dwindling family reflects the atmo
 sphere of its country&mdash\;one of resentment\, renewal\, and\, ultimatel
 y\, hope.&nbsp\;The Promise&nbsp\;is an epic drama that unfurls against th
 e unrelenting march of national history\, sure to please current fans and 
 attract many new ones. Winner of the 2021 Booker Prize (Provided by the pu
 blisher).</p>\n<p>Copies of the book are available&nbsp\;<a href="https://
