''[[The Girl Who Played Go]]'' (''La Joueuse de Go'') is the third novel by Shan Sa, a Chinese author who lives in France and writes in French.
Manchuria, 1930s. A sixteen-year-old girl's favorite pastime is to play [[go]] on a public square. She wins against all adversaries, but one day a young man shows up who turns out to be a match for her. As they make a habit of playing against one another, their rivalry turns into mutual admiration and eventually attraction.
But the man is actually an officer in the occupying Japanese army, and as the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]] breaks out, the two players find themselves on enemy sides.
