The Queen's Gambit
Other
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.
'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
'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
