Infos

On the surface, The Hand You Hold is about mahjong - the tiles, the walls, the table, and the players. But beneath that, it's a meditation on rhythm, patience, and presence.Each chapter takes a moment from the game the pause before a discard, the quiet after a win, the stillness between rounds and turns it into a reflection on life. The book explores how we play, wait, lose, and begin again, revealing that mahjong, like life, is never just about luck or skill, but about character.Written in spare, lyrical prose, The Hand You Hold is not a manual on how to win. It s a companion for anyone learning to sit well through change, through chance, through every wind and a gentle reminder that what matters most is not the tiles we draw, but how we play the hand we hold.
