I honestly did not believe that I would enjoy a novel about casino life so much. To be precise, as a woman, I did not think that women with that kind of addiction (gambling) could be so familiar to the rest of us. The power play between two gamblers, that on the same time are lovers, is intriguing and in a way makes us think about all kind of fixations one might have and explore the reasons behind it. I really loved the pace of Argiro’s writing, loved her narration style. Loved it!
