Description

An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family. Two brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek, seem to have little in common aside from their bond. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties—successful, competent, and seemingly unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he medicates himself to sleep and struggles 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. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player who has always viewed himself as socially awkward, a loner, the opposite 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. For 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.
