How to Hide Inside a Three (Signed) - van der Riet, Jane

Things I used to wish were true: 1. On the morning of your twenty-first birthday you were handed a top-secret manual explaining how to be a grown-up. 2. Mr Hoody and the legions of others in the crevices of the city had homes. 3. There were still chocolate digestives in the cupboard after last night's binge. It's 2017 in Cape Town. The dams are empty. There's a gangster in charge of the country. Leigh-Anne may look like she's keeping it together in her Southern suburbs world, but really she's unravelling. A letter has arrived from her ageing dad, asking forgiveness for some unknown sordid deed. What on earth is that about? Then there's the tortuous sex with her psychiatrist husband Samuel and the fact that she can't stop fantasising about her colleague Omar.
