Assigned to the case, Dr. Naomi Buthelezi, a retired professor and science-fiction writer, is hired to investigate the veracity of the materials, and whether or not the woman''s claim to have heard from a \"force more powerful than humankind\" is genuine.  Thus begins \u003ci\u003eTriangulum\u003c\/i\u003e, a found manuscript composed of the mysterious woman''s memoir and her recordings. Haunted by visions of a mysterious machine, the narrator is a seemingly adrift 17-year-old girl, whose father never recovered from the shock of losing his wife. She struggles to navigate school, sexual experimentation, and friendship across racial barriers in post-Apartheid South Africa.  With extraordinary aplomb and breathtaking prose, Ntshanga has crafted an inventive and marvelous novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316089332094,"sku":"NW9781909762954","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781909762954.jpg?v=1778646371","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/triangulum-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
