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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walter Tevis;","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50417284612344,"sku":"BE501338941144","price":22.05,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/8378\/2793\/files\/BE501338941144.jpg?v=1788333656","url":"https:\/\/bookends.ae\/es\/products\/be501338941144","provider":"Online Book Store – Bookends","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
