The voice of a remarkable young woman… In these passages, Hajin shares with us the life of a successful go player and then her journey to a different and wider life. This book is a collection of essays and reflections, written with great clarity and easy and rewarding to read. It is clear she has brought to this exercise not only the hard work and focus that made her a competitor but a love of writing, reading, and language.
