Life
Bertina Henrichs studied literature and film studies in Berlin and France. With a dissertation on writers who accepted a foreign language in exile, she received her doctorate in 1997 from the University of Paris VII . From then on she lived in Paris and wrote some screenplays before making her debut as a writer in 2005 with the novel La Joueuse d'échecs . The story about a chambermaid who discovered his passion for chess became a bestseller and sold a little over 50,000 times shortly after it was published in 2007 under the title Die Schachspielerin . Directed by Caroline Bottaro , the film adaptation of the same name with Sandrine Bonnaire and Kevin Kline in the leading roles was released in German-French co-production in cinemas in 2009.
