Waterstones Says

Two brothers navigate the turmoil and joy of love after the passing of their father in this breathtaking novel from the hugely acclaimed author of Normal People and Conversations With Friends.

Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2024

An Exclusive Edition is also available

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.

Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties – successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women – his enduring first love Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.

Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.

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.

“Intermezzo is the novel that 'Normal People' stans have been waiting for.”

Sally Rooney is not for everyone, but I am SO glad she is for me. As always her writing is introspective and revealing to the nth degree. My mind always feels laid bare after reading. She somehow manages to make... More

This is Sally Rooney at her best. This is human love, loss, heartbreak and pain in all their beautiful complexity. This is the relationship between two brothers told in a way I don't think anyone else could.
