It Takes Three to Tango

I-"It Takes Three to Tango" iyinoveli yothando olumnyama enamagama angu-90,000 ka-C.C. Hill, lapho ukukhetha kwakho kulawula indaba. Isekelwe ngokuphelele emibhalweni—ngaphandle kwemifanekiso noma imiphumela yomsindo—futhi igqugquzelwa amandla amakhulu, angenakuvinjwa womcabango wakho.

Eboshelwe ndawonye yisimo, amanxeba amadala aphinde avulwe, imizwa engahluziwe iyavutha, futhi izimfihlo ezingcwatshiwe ziyavela kabusha.
