The Orphanage Girls Come Home. Paperback. By Mary Wood

This three-book Walter Tevis collection features three of his most famously adapted works, including The Queen’s Gambit, The Hustler and The Colour of Money. The Queen's Gambit introduces us to Beth as a young girl living in an orphanage in Kentucky. It is here that she first discovers her love for chess, thanks to the custodian who teaches her the rules of the game. Beth quickly proves to be a natural, and before long, she is taking on and beating some of the best players in the area. As she grows older, Beth's talent only continues to blossom, and she sets her sights on becoming a world champion. However, life is not easy for Beth. She struggles with addiction to both tranquillizers and alcohol, which she uses to cope with the pressure and stress of competition. She also faces sexism, as many male chess players do not take her seriously and refuse to play against her. Despite these challenges, Beth continues to push herself to become better, and her passion and dedication to the game make her an inspiring and unforgettable character. The Hustler is a classic novel that follows the story of Eddie Felson, a young and talented pool player who dreams of becoming the best. In his quest to beat the legendary Minnesota Fats, Eddie faces numerous challenges, including personal demons, betrayal, and heartbreak. Along the way, he meets Sarah Packard, a troubled alcoholic, and Bert Gordon, a manipulative gambler who becomes his mentor. As Eddie rises through the ranks, he must confront his own limitations and the sacrifices he must make to achieve his goals. The Hustler is a powerful exploration of ambition, love, and the cost of success. The Colour of Money was first published in 1984. The book is a sequel to Tevis's earlier novel, The Hustler, and follows the story of Fast Eddie Felson, a former pool hustler who comes out of retirement to mentor a young pool player named Vincent. As Eddie tries to mould Vincent into a champion, he confronts his own demons and struggles with the changing world of pool hustling. The Color of Money is a gripping tale of ambition, rivalry, and self-discovery, exploring the complexities of the human psyche and the nature of competition. Throughout the series, Tevis does an incredible job of bringing the game of chess to life. His descriptions of the matches are detailed and thrilling, and even readers who are not familiar with the game will find themselves caught up in the excitement. However, what truly makes the books so special is the character of Beth herself in The Queen’s Gambit. She is a complex and multifaceted protagonist, with flaws and strengths that make her feel like a real person. Readers will root for her as she faces her struggles and triumphs over her opponents, and her story will stay with them long after they finish the books. In terms of genre, The Queen's Gambit can be classified as both a sports novel and a coming-of-age story. It is a book that will appeal to fans of both genres, as well as anyone who...

At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place - while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans - and the love they hold for each other. The Sun and Its Shade I love you... Nox's tear-filled words echo across the sand as she and Amaris are torn apart. They've battled fiercely to find each other again, and have barely reunited when Amaris is taken away by the queen's dragon.
