Description
From the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Normal People comes a deeply moving story about grief, love and family. Although they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a successful Dublin lawyer in his thirties, but after their father’s death he takes medication to sleep and struggles to manage his relationships with two very different women: his enduring first love Sylvia and Naomi, a college student who treats life as one long joke. Ivan, a 22-year-old competitive chess player, has always seen himself as socially awkward and as the opposite of his effortlessly charming older brother. In the early weeks of his bereavement, he meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from a 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, and a chance to discover how much one life can contain without breaking.
