From the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Normal People, Intermezzo is an exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family.
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. -
Alice, une jeune romancière ayant connu un succès fulgurant, quitte Dublin pour s'installer dans un village d'Irlande. Eileen, sa meilleure amie, est restée dans la capitale et travaille pour un magazine littéraire. Elles se parlent presque tous les jours, ou plutôt elles s'écrivent. Des e-mails aussi drôles qu'intimes où elles laissent libre cours à leurs réflexions sur le sexe, l'amour, l'argent, l'amitié, la politique.
Dans ce monde qui s'assombrit, comment continuer à se comprendre, s'aimer et admirer la beauté qui nous entoure quand le pire semble inévitable ?
