This is one of my all time favorite books because it is so complex. It is not a beach read, but one where you can lose yourself. Written in two time frames, during the French Revolution and modern day, the action switches back and forth and is sometimes a little hard to follow. But this is well worth the time to pay attention. It is astonishing that this is the author's first novel. The story is so intricate and characters are so well developed, it was a pleasure to read. The story of the chess set and its parallels to the characters will stay with you for a long time.
