Intermezzo

I’ve finally finished reading Intermezzo by Sally Rooney. That it took me the best part of a month is no reflection of my enjoyment—quite the opposite. This is a novel to be savoured, and savour it I did. The richness and depth of the characters were a delight, with Rooney doing a great job capturing the complexities of two brothers navigating life after their father’s death. Her exploration of unconventional relationships is both subtle and thought-provoking, leaving plenty of space to reflect on life’s messy realities. A thoroughly rewarding read
