I dove into Intermezzo expecting the signature Sally Rooney book which usually has that emotional clarity, but I came away impressed by how she broadened her canvas—tackling family, grief, and moral complexity. I don’t think this is a minor detour in her career; actually, it feels like a full-scale expansion of her literary vision and I’m very open to the shift. Intermezzo follows Peter and Ivan Koubek, Irish brothers a decade apart.
