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. Now the basis for a highly acclaimed, award-winning Netflix series.
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 is competing for the US 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.

The book has a slow pace. You really root for the character. Experiencing her highs and her lows. It is a journey you take together with her. The voice that tells the story is pleasant.

Prachtig boek. Wist nietdat een schaakwedstrijd zo spannend kon zijn om naar te luísteren. Een minpunt: zeer slecht voorgelezen. Iedere mannenstem in het verhaal krijgt een soort slowmotion effect wat echt ergerlijk is. Maar enfin.

Het boek was heerlijk en heb er met plezier naar geluisterd en ga nu zeker de netflix serie kijken. Helaas was de vertaler erg saai en monotoon. Enkel de stem van de hoofdrolspeelster was goed, verder was elke stem precies hetzelfde en zonder emotie. Dit was erg jammer aangezien er veel meer emotie uit had kunnen worden gehaald.
