In 'Intermezzo', Sally Rooney presents a moving story about grief, love, and family. Through the brothers Peter and Ivan Koubek, seemingly opposites, the novel explores how they face the loss of their father and navigate complex relationships. Peter, a successful lawyer, struggles with insomnia and is torn between two women: his first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student. Ivan, a competitive chess player, finds solace in Margaret, an older woman with a turbulent past. In this interlude of their lives, both brothers seek desire, face despair, and glimpse the possibility of a new beginning.
