年度曼布克獎得主。作者以一個南非白人家庭的葬禮為主軸，藉年輕一代家庭成員的口提出家庭對長期工作的黑人女傭沒有遵守的承諾，深入描述他們從種族隔離年代到現今社會的種種故事。Discover the Booker Prize-shortlisted literary masterpiece of a family in crisis.'Astonishing' Colm ToibinThe 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 stand 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.The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams; deliciously lethal in its observation.

Young history buffs and celebrity fanatics alike will enjoy this humorous and irreverent introduction to King Tutankhamun written by Egyptologist and TV presenter Dr Chris Naunton.

With 48 illustrations in colour
