NOW A MAJOR GOLDEN GLOBE-WINNING NETFLIX SERIES\'Superb\' Time Out \'Mesmerizing\' Newsweek\'Gripping\' Financial Times\'Sheer entertainment. It is a book I reread every few years - for the pure pleasure and skill of it\' Michael Ondaatje \'Don\'t pick this up if you want a night\'s sleep\' Scotsman When she is sent to an orphanage at the age of eight, Beth Harmon soon discovers two ways to escape her surroundings, albeit fleetingly: playing chess and taking the little green pills given to her and the other children to keep them subdued. Before long, it becomes apparent that hers is a prodigious talent, and as she progresses to the top of the US chess rankings she is able to forge a new life for herself. But she can never quite overcome her urge to self-destruct. For Beth, there\'s more at stake than merely winning and losing.\'I loved it. I just loved it, it really drew me in and I know nothing about chess... The writing about addiction is just fantastic. I underlined so many bits of it... I didn\'t want it to end\' Bryony Gordon on BBC Radio 4\'Few novelists have written about genius - and addiction - as acutely as Walter Tevis\' Telegraph Σελίδες: 256, Έτος Έκδοσης: 1124, Διαστάσεις: 12.8x12.8cm
