Drawn into a complex triangle with two boys, she distracts herself from the onslaught of adulthood by playing the game of go with strangers in a public square--and yet the force of desire, like the occupation, proves inevitable. Unbeknownst to the girl who plays go, her most worthy and frequent opponent is a Japanese soldier in disguise. Captivated by her beauty as much as by her bold, unpredictable approach to the strategy game, the soldier finds his loyalties challenged. Is there room on the path to war for that most revolutionary of acts: falling in love? 2126470 book 2001 la joueuse de go total:375|5:81|4:145|3:117|2:25|1:7| 375 1393 552 72 4 2 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jun 08 18:32:53 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 08 18:33:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Oct 04 16:25:18 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 16:25:41 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 19:01:57 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 14:53:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat May 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 19:01:09 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 18:10:36 -0700 2009 my here or here.
