Intermezzo ist die Geschichte zweier ungleicher Brüder. Peter, Anfang dreißig, ist ein charismatischer, desillusionierter Menschenrechtsanwalt; Ivan, zehn Jahre jünger, ein ernsthafter und introvertierter Schachspieler. Als Ivan klein war und Peter ein Teenager, standen die beiden sich nahe, später wurden sie einander immer fremder. Nun haben sie ihren geliebten Vater verloren, was alte Wunden aufs Neue aufreißt. Dann lernt Ivan Margaret kennen, deren Ehe gerade zerbrochen ist. Die Zuneigung zwischen ihnen ist echt, doch ihr Altersunterschied droht ihre Liebe zu zersprengen. Unterdessen verliert Peter seinen Halt. Er ist mit Naomi zusammen, einer jungen Studentin, doch er kann das frühere Leben mit Sylvia, seiner ersten Liebe, nicht hinter sich lassen. Entwurzelt, verletzt, voller Reue, erscheint das Leben ihm schal und kaum zu ertragen. Ihre Schuldgefühle, ihre Suche nach Sinn und Nähe treiben beide, Ivan und Peter, zu den Frauen in ihren Leben. Doch jeder von ihnen muss einen Weg finden, eine übermächtige Aufgabe zu meistern: wirklich zu trauern. Und wirklich zu lieben. Mit ihrem neuen Roman lässt Sally Rooney, eine der prägenden Autorinnen ihrer Generation, alle Zuschreibungen hinter sich und beweist, dass sie wie kaum jemand sonst wahrhaft menschliche Charaktere zu zeichnen versteht. Menschliches Begehren, menschliche Verzweiflung, menschliches Erkennen, das Geheimnis menschlicher Verbindung: Intermezzo ist aufwühlend und tröstend, eine Geschichte von Brüdern und Liebenden, erzählt mit der Spannung eines lang angehaltenen Atemzugs, der sich schließlich zu einer Auflösung von außergewöhnlicher emotionaler Wucht öffnet.
