Sally Rooney takes on grief, love triangles and chess in new novel Intermezzo... but barely scratches the surface of her female characters
Briefly

"Intermezzo follows two brothers, Ivan and Peter, in the months after their father's death, navigating a life that feels wholly incomplete after his passing."
"Peter appears to be the epitome of success as a barrister, yet internally he's grappling with depression, resorting to self-medication to cope with his reality."
"The narrative alternates between the brothers' perspectives, contrasting Ivan's rational views with Peter's darker, troubled thoughts, making Ivan's chapters more engaging than Peter's."
