{"product_id":"rootbound-manthipe-moila-9781037050954","title":"Rootbound","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn absent father dies. Home is no longer so homely. And yet, wherever you go, you cannot escape yourself. Manthipe Moila's captivating debut follows a young woman as she finds her place between the blossoming South Africa of her past and the blustery South Korea of her present. How does one grow in a new place, in a new language? Is it possible to grow new roots, or does pain forever bind us to the past? Drawing on the botanical environment - as well as a self-made jungle of houseplants - Moila meditates on memory and loss, the thrills of exploration, and the journey of becoming. A fresh, inventive and essential new voice in South African literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manthipe Moila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1037050959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781037050954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Uhlanga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.19d","brand":"Manthipe Moila","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47002132775167,"sku":"9781037050954","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d30f3129-2682-4cc1-a6d3-2d8240207449.jpg?v=1751603181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rootbound-manthipe-moila-9781037050954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
