Does the fact that used the name Kasparov, and that Pirio's father was teaching Noah to play, suggest that you are an avid chess player?
Elisabeth Elo
I'm not a chess player, and the connection between the name Kasparov and Pirio's father's hobby didn't even occur to me until you mentioned it! But I was aware, of course, that Garry Kasparov is a former World Chess Champion and a leader of the pro-democracy movement in Russia. I figured the name had very good associations, and I also liked the sound of it. Someday I would like to learn to play chess. (I already know how to smoke cigars.)

Dear Ms Elo, I read North Boston a second time now. It's the german version "Die Frau Die Nie Fror" and yes, it's one of my favorite books. So thanks as first for this brilliant work! Now I have a question. While reading I noticed that we learn Pirios hair color really late. Was that your intention? And if yes than why? Best wishes from Berlin Claudi Feldhaus
