Summary
Then he is reaching, reaching across the distance between them. Across the Pacific, the Caribbean. The Sea of Japan. Hirose River. The puddle of water that would gather on the doorstep of his childhood home on rainy days.

Summary
“Our girl, my love, will be a grandmaster.”
At four years old, Temari touched her first chess piece, an action that would rule her life far beyond the game she expected. Hailing from a nation of chess giants and fuelled by a background that is anything but easy, she finds herself shaped into the hardened individual her sport requires and will do whatever it takes to reach the top. Even if that involves accepting assistance from an unexpected source.

Bookmarker's Notes
Best thing I've read. Changed my life. Cannot see anything about chess without thinking about grandmaster. Made me start reading Dostoevsky and then changed my life even more. Amem.
