A review by sarahhead
The Promise by Damon Galgut

4.5

Beautifully and uniquely written. Found myself having to stop and appreciate the structure of some lines. Really beautiful.

I cannot believe that a novel that is literally about four deaths could make me laugh out loud. Galgut is masterful. The way the narrative is woven together to create something so simple yet profound is admirable to say the least. A Booker Prize Winner for a reason.
