(2) YA Love and Death have played Games through the centuries--and Death has always won. In Depression-era Seattle, Love chooses as his player wealthy, white Henry Bishop; Death selects scrappy Flora Saudade, an African American aviatrix/jazz singer. Henry and Flora earn a happy ending in a tender denouement. The fully realized setting and characters make this more than just a modern fairy tale.
