Über diesen Titel
The south of France, 1790: Mireille de Rémy and her cousin Valentine are young novices at the fortress-like Montglane Abbey. With France aflame in revolution, the two girls burn to rebel against constricted convent life - and their means of escape is at hand. Buried deep within the abbey are pieces of the Montglane Chess Service, once owned by Charlemagne. Whoever reassembles the pieces can play a game of unlimited power. But to keep the Game a secret from those who would abuse it, the two young women must scatter the pieces throughout the world.

Kritikerstimmen
"Even readers with no interest in chess will be swept up into this astonishing fantasy-adventure....destined to become a cult classic." (Publishers Weekly)
“With alchemical skill, Neville blends modern romance, historical fiction, and medieval mystery...and comes up with gold.” (People)
“A big, rich, two-tiered confection of a novel...a rousing, amusing game.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Readers thrilled by The Da Vinci Code will relish the multi-layered secrets of The Eight.” (Matthew Pearl, author of The Dante Club)
Audio book with some flaws - voice in parts too affected, adoption of accents too prominent
When two French are talking to each other in a dialogue, what's the point of adopting a strong French-English accent? A bit annoying over 20+ hours
Beloved novel as decent audio book
