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. Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This book became dear to me.just finished reading this book. The whole story has a melancholy tone. It’s about two brothers ivan and peter and how they navigate their lives and grief after losing their father. It explores the complexities of the sibling relationships and love life. At the beginning i just found ivan so relatable and adorable and disliked peter. But as the story progresses we get to know how that peter is just exhausted and all alone. Personally i found many situations and the emotions relatable and familiar, it resonated with me deeply. Halfway through i became fond of the characters. I became more interested in peters pov. And sure at times I didn’t like ivans thoughts and actions especially towards his brother, but i understood How he just became an adult and figuring out the complexities of life. At the end i ended up rooting for peter and just wanted to give him a hug. The some of the events in this story happened in my life and also having similar sibling dynamic, i really was invested in this book till the end. I just wanted two more chapters at the end, because i felt the story just ended abruptly, although not dissatisfying. I definitely recommend it! Review: loved it - the book is of good quality, it was a bit chipped on the spine but otherwise alright. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #252,068 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #349 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 20,326 Reviews | ## Images ![Intermezzo: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+ztOtj57L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *by S***A on 15 December 2024* This book became dear to me.just finished reading this book.
