"Slow read, but after a while I got into the ponderous tempo and started loving it. It is a strange book, because it looks at history and historical figures, especially some prominent women of the time, through an object. And the object is the game of chess and the evolution of the chess pieces through the time... several ages of it." — Mar 03, 2012 08:24PM
