But his biggest regret is his estrangement from Calvin—whose tragic passing means that any chance of repair is now gone. But when Elliot receives Calvin’s old folder with their unfinished project, the past unravels before him. He sets out to honor his late friend’s dying wish, gathering the studio back together to build the game of their dreams—while slowly picking up the pieces of his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA\" direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA\" direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA\" text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\u003eCelebrated Swedish novelist Andreas Roman’s English language debut is a deeply affecting redemption story that explores why we hurt the people we love, and how to come back from it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA\" text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catalyst Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51021038289239,"sku":"9781963511000","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781963511000.jpg?v=1750785021","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-greatest-game-of-all-9781963511000","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
