Description
A gripping debut novel set against the backdrop of World War II, The Last Checkmate A Novel by Gabriella Saab tells the story of Maria Florkowska, a young Polish resistance worker who finds herself in a desperate game of survival. Captured by the Gestapo and imprisoned in Auschwitz, Maria uses her chess skills to stay alive, but her ultimate goal is to bring the man responsible for her family's murder to justice. As Maria navigates the treacherous world of the camp, she forms an unlikely friendship with a Catholic priest and begins to plot her revenge. With the help of her chess games, Maria aims to provoke the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, into a downfall that will allow her to escape her fate. But as the war draws to a close, Maria must confront her past and face her nemesis in a final, life-or-death game. With its tense atmosphere and gripping plot, The Last Checkmate A Novel is a heart-pounding tale of survival, revenge, and the human spirit.
