Rachel Eliza Griffiths und Jane Chirwa präsentieren ein sensationelles Debüt

Rachel Eliza Griffiths is not only the woman at Salman Rushdie's side, to whom he made a great declaration of love with "Knife", but also a successful poet and artist. Now, with What You Promised Us, she has produced a powerful and tender debut novel that traces a dark chapter in American history.
Sisters Ezra and Cinthy Kindred grow up sheltered on the east coast of the USA. They spend their days with their best friend Ruby without a thought that anything could ever come between them. But when calls for freedom and equal rights for the black population reach Salt Point in the summer of 1957, the Kindreds, one of the only two black families in the town, are suddenly seen as a threat by the other residents. A story from the past that could hardly be more topical. German text: Jane Chirwa
