Intermezzo

Sally Rooney
Goodreads  

An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family—but especially love—from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have li...e 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 (Recenzia)

Sumár recenzie
Okrem toho, že sú bratia, toho Peter a Ivan Koubekovci nemajú veľa spoločného: Peter je charizmatický tridsiatnik pracujúci v Dubline ako právnik, ktorý po otcovej smrti bojuje s nespavosťou a komplikovanými vzťahmi so Sylviou a Naomi, zatiaľ čo Ivan (22) je samotársky šachista, ktorý sa zamiluje do staršej Margaret. V románe Intermezzo od Sally Rooney autorka skúma súrodenecký vzťah, smútok, túžbu, zúfalstvo a vzájomné prepojenia medzi ľuďmi a vykresľuje postavy, ktoré nie sú čierno‑biele. Kniha je miestami ťažká a náročná, no zároveň dojímavá a s náznakom optimizmu, preto ju recenzent odporúča.
