THE GLOBAL #1 BESTSELLER AN IRISH TIMES TOP 100 IRISH BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY A BEST BOOK OF 2024 IN THE GUARDIAN, TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES, IRISH TIMES, LONDON STANDARD, INDEPENDENT, OBSERVER, NEW STATESMAN, iNEWS, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, THE SKINNY, CITY AM, DAILY MAIL, AND THE CONVERSATION 'I read it in a state of rapture.' SUNDAY TIMES 'A tender, funny page-turner.' OBSERVER 'Come for the romance, stay for the meaning of life.' IRISH TIMES 'A breathtakingly intimate look at love and desire in its many different forms.' RED From the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Normal People, an exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family. 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. Readers love Intermezzo: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An intimate and emotional read . I put the book down feeling that I am richer for having read it.' Megan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A beautifully written book with characters that capture the heart of the reader.' Sinead ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I'm envious of anyone yet to read this, you're in for a treat.'

Rezension von TillyWar ein bisschen schwer reinzukommen, aber sobald man den Schreibstil vorallem von Peter verstanden hatte war es super schön zu lesen.
Rezension von Ellieich war überzeugt davon dieses buch sei nicht für mich bestimmt, wollte nur mal eben reinhören - und dann das. so viel leben, so viel emotionen in einem buch. charaktere, die einem so nah kommen, als würde man sie tatsächlich kennen. worte, die man unterstreichen, markieren, sich merken möchte.
Rezension von Jules somehow nothing really happens; still, Sally Rooney always knows how to build complex characters - unfortunately that also means that they annoy you terribly :D
Rezension von Jessich konnte die Geschwisterbeziehung sehr nachvollziehen, was die Geschichte noch schmerzhafter für mich gemacht hat. Guter Roman, aber nicht zwingend weltbewegend
