The Promise unlike "The Chosen" begins with Rauven and Danny as old friends. It has many similarities to "The Chosen". To have a much better understanding of Mr. Potok's two novels it would be benaficial to read them in the order they were written, although it's not necessary to do so as each novel is a story in itself.
