Intermezzo by Sally Rooney: Chess Arena With Merch Prizes!

Sort:

Author Sally Rooney's new book Intermezzo has hit the shelves like a storm. The story follows two Irish brothers, 32-year-old Peter Koubek, a Dublin lawyer, and 22-year-old Ivan, a chess prodigy, and their troubled relationships with each other and the women in their lives. We meet them at an intermezzo — a new interlude after their father's death — a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking. Intermezzo has been called Sally's "most moving novel yet", gathering positive reviews from critics and readers all around the world. 

An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.
