Intermezzo

Intermezzo tells the story of two brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek, who, despite their family bond, are very different from each other. Peter, a successful lawyer in his thirties, is devastated by the death of their father. He struggles to manage his relationships with two women: Sylvia, his first love, and Naomi, a university student. The novel explores themes of grief, love, and complex family relationships.

Sally Rooney, author of bestsellers Normal People and Conversations with Friends, offers an emotional and introspective narrative with Intermezzo, further cementing her reputation as a major voice in contemporary literature.
