The Promise Damon Galgut Chatto & Windus €19.60

Damon Galgut probably should have won the Booker Prize for his brilliant novel The Good Doctor in 2003. It was shortlisted at least and was followed by The Imposter. In a Strange Room was again shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2010. And then came the EM Forster-inspired Arctic Summer; each novel was different from the other, all excellent.
