Book Club

Join us for the next Book Club on Tuesday,  May 7th.  We meet at the Circolo dei Lettori in Via Giambattista Bogino 9 at 10.30 am.

The book for May 7th is The Promise by Damon Galgut (2021/ 304 pps) Booker Prize Winner 2021.  “The Promise” charts the crash and burn of a white South African family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering for Ma’s funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest everything the family stands for – not least the failed promise to the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life. After years of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land… yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.  Presented by Graziella Viglione
