Description
Engaging and fast-paced, this gripping coming-of-age novel of
chess, feminism, and addiction speeds to a conclusion as elegant
and satisfying as a mate in four.
Eight year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all
appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game
of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for
the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By
the age of sixteen, she’s competing for the U.S. Open
championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional
circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more
frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more
tempting.
