Description
Intermezzo is the eagerly anticipated new novel from Sally Rooney, the author behind the multimillion-copy phenomenon Normal People.
Enter the lives of two brothers navigating grief, desire, and unexpected connection.
Peter, a successful Dublin lawyer, masks his pain with medication and emotional entanglement between two women, his first love Sylvia and the carefree Naomi.
Meanwhile, his younger brother Ivan, a competitive chess player who's always felt like an outsider, discovers an intense and transformative bond with Margaret, a woman rebuilding her own life.
In the aftermath of their father's death, both brothers find themselves suspended in a profound interlude, a space where despair and possibility collide.
Through Rooney's signature prose, watch as these characters discover just how much depth, complexity, and resilience a single life can contain.
A masterful exploration of grief, love, and the quiet revolutions that happen when lives intersect at their most vulnerable moments.
