Intermezzo

New Hardback

Postscript summary

Rich with the observational skill and characterization that has made Sally Rooney one of the world’s bestselling authors, Intermezzo explores grief and age-gap relationships through siblings Peter, a successful lawyer in his 30s, and Ivan, 22 years old and struggling to secure his ranking as a professional chess player. In the wake of their father’s death Peter is torn between his first love and a cash-strapped student who excels at risqué selfies, while Ivan finds himself increasingly involved with an older woman ‘no longer really married’.
