"An exquisitely moving story about grief\, love\, and family\, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney. Aside from t he fact that they are brothers\, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties--successful\, compete nt\, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death\ , he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationsh ips with two very different women--his enduring first love\, Sylvia\, and Naomi\, a college student for whom life is one long joke. Ivan is a twenty -two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as soci ally awkward\, a loner\, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now\, i n the early weeks of his bereavement\, Ivan meets Margaret\, an older woma n emerging from her own turbulent past\, and their lives become rapidly an d intensely intertwined. For two grieving brothers and the people they lov e\, this is a new interlude--a period of desire\, despair\, and possibilit y\; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself withou t breaking."
