This month we will be discussing: "Interme zzo" - by Sally Rooney
\nPlot Summary: "Aside from the fact that the y are brothers\, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.
\ nPeter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties&mdash\;successful\, competent \, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father&rsquo\;s d eath\, he&rsquo\;s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage hi s relationships with two very different women&mdash\;his enduring first lo ve\, Sylvia\, and Naomi\, a college student for whom life is one long joke .
\nIvan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has a lways seen himself as socially awkward\, a loner\, the antithesis of his g lib elder brother. Now\, in the early weeks of his bereavement\, Ivan meet s Margaret\, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past\, and the ir lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.
\nFor two grievin g brothers and the people they love\, this is a new interlude&mdash\;a per iod of desire\, despair\, and possibility\; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking." (Goodreads.com)
