Felt too much like a lecture to me. In the end, boy (son of Home Secretary) and girl are blown up (jihadists strap belt around the boy) in a Pakistani cemetery. Girl has kept the body of her twin brother under ice for days, hoping to get a return to UK for a proper burial. Antigone is a tough act to follow.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
