Enjoyable . . . I suspect the "book" was created after the radio show. Book ends at the beginning of WWII. Irish Free State (sort of a commonwealth state) is trying to establish itself. More radical Catholics and Northern Ireland want to see it fail. Poverty related to world-wide depression is rampant in all of Ireland. I will find another book to bring me from 1939 to the present day.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
