Description
From the author of Normal People comes a deeply moving story about grief, love and family. Although Peter and Ivan Koubek are brothers, they seem to have little else in common. Peter is a successful Dublin lawyer in his thirties, but after their father’s death he is medicating himself to sleep and struggling with relationships with two very different women: his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student who treats life as one long joke. Ivan, twenty-two, is a competitive chess player who has always seen himself as socially awkward and solitary, the opposite of his confident older brother. In the early weeks of his bereavement, he meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from a turbulent past, and their lives quickly become intensely intertwined. For the grieving brothers and the people they love, this new interlude brings desire, despair and possibility, as they discover how much one life can contain without breaking.
