"Aside from the fact that they are brother s\, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties&mdash\;successful\, competent\, and apparently una ssailable. But in the wake of their father's death\, he's medicating himse lf to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very diffe rent women&mdash\;his enduring first love\, Sylvia\, and Naomi\, a college student for whom life is one long joke.
\n
Ivan is a twenty-tw
o-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as sociall
y awkward\, a loner\, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now\, in t
he early weeks of his bereavement\, Ivan meets Margaret\, an older woman e
merging from her own turbulent past\, and their lives become rapidly and i
ntensely intertwined.
For two grieving brothers and the peop
le they love\, this is a new interlude&mdash\;a period of desire\, despair
\, and possibility\; a chance to find out how much one life might hold ins
ide itself without breaking."
