Queen Of The Tiles - Thryft
Queen Of The Tiles - Thryft

Chess prodigy navigates life and loss through tiles.

Queen of the Tiles could be a good read for you if you enjoy stories about resilience and the power of passion. This book beautifully explores the world of chess through the eyes of a young prodigy, delving into themes of loss, determination, and the complexities of family. The author, Hanna Alkaf, skillfully crafts a narrative that will captivate you from the very first move and leave you with a renewed appreciation for the strategies of life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
