OF THE GAME
Kate Blackwell. The woman, whose name is
equivalent to the word "success".It was not used to choose the means towards a desired goal. She always
got what she wanted - power, money, love ... It does not stop at nothing - not to lie,
not to the betrayal, or even before a crime ... She has achieved much - but
how much she lost ..?
The book begins with the fact that Kate is ninety years (the same main character of the book) celebrates anniversary and recalled
the story of her family, a story in which there were hopes and disappointments, moments of joy and sadness, love, separation,
adventure and intrigue.
Then the author takes us back to the distant past, in
1883, to the origins, namely, to the time of Kate's father's
life, Jamie McGregor. As a young man, full of
enthusiasm and youthful extremism is sent to South
Africa in search of diamonds.
He manages to be a victim of cruel deception, make friends with a black man by the name of Banda, rich, cruel revenge
on his enemy and set up a company under the symbolic name
for him Kruger-Brent.
Jamie's wife, Margaret - daughter Jamie sworn enemy. The poor girl with no memory in love with the main character, has
become an instrument of revenge. Their son died, but after his death and the death of Jamie McGregor, Margaret gave birth to
a daughter named Kate.
The following chapters tell about the life of Kate. She - purposeful, powerful and successful. She - the master of the
game, intrigante. She weaves intrigue, stepping over people, even their loved ones, and all for the main point in
his life - business.
Subsequent chapters tell about the descendants
of Kate. About her son, Tony, to which the mother in
the first place powerful and imperious
woman, in the presence of a boy even stutter.
And about Tony’s children, grandchildren,
Kate - twins Eve and Alexandra.
Girls absolute opposites of each other, the
personification of evil and good; greedy, insatiable
Eve, for the sake of money and power, she is ready to
even kill her own sister; and gentle, kind, sensitive
Alexandra.
GWho would have by inheritance it will get to run the company? Will the good
evil? This you will find in the book!
