Adult Fiction Book Club: "Intermezzo"

“Intermezzo is 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 have little in common. Peter is a lawyer in his thirties - successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. 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.”
