AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A National Indie Bestseller
Short-listed for the An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year
Finalist for the Barnes and Noble Book of the Year
Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times and an Essential Read by The New Yorker
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, TIME, Financial Times, Vogue, The Guardian, Vox, The Times (UK), Apple Books, and more
One of Chicago Public Library's Favorite Books of the Year and People's Top 10 Books of the Year
An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family--but especially love--from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.
Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.
Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties--successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death, he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women--his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.
Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.
For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude--a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.
Review
Intermezzo is perfect - truly wonderful - a tender, funny page-turner about the derangements of grief, and Rooney's richest treatment yet of messy romantic entanglements . Is there a better novelist at work right now? -- Anthony Cummins ― Observer
Her most mature and moving book to date . By the final pages my eyes were red and swollen. I read it in a state of rapture. -- Johanna Thomas-Corr ― Sunday Times
Rooney has discovered her full literary prowess . [I] felt that for the time spent reading Intermezzo, I had gone more deeply into the world . Sublime literature will do that for you. -- Jo Hamya ― Independent
