If you liked "She's Come Undone" you will love this book. I listened to this book on tape and would love to find it in print so I can share it with my book club. The story is gripping, the characters full, and the writing is masterful. The story involves/revolves around the game of chess. I cannot think of a more boring thing to read about. Instead of being bored, you are riveted as this tale of overcoming the odds, the system and most of all self defeating behavior is uplifting as well as insightful. A tale well worth reading.
