But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep\u003cbr\u003eand struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women – his\u003cbr\u003eenduring first love Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long\u003cbr\u003ejoke.\u003cbr\u003eIvan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself\u003cbr\u003eas socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early\u003cbr\u003eweeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her\u003cbr\u003eown turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.\u003cbr\u003eFor two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude – a period\u003cbr\u003eof desire, despair and possibility – a chance to find out how much one life might hold\u003cbr\u003einside itself without breaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e‘The literary phenomenon of the decade.’ Guardian on NORMAL PEOPLE\u003cbr\u003e‘I love Sally Rooney.
