{"product_id":"intermezzo","title":"Intermezzo","description":"An exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family, from the  global phenomenon Sally Rooney.\n\nAside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in  common.\n\nPeter 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.\n\nIvan 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.\n\nFor 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.","brand":"Sally Rooney","offers":[{"title":"Faber \u0026 Faber \/ 24 Sep 2024 \/ 207","offer_id":53708981436757,"sku":"9780571365463","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780571365463.webp?v=1776437405","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/intermezzo","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
