Sally Rooney Just Announced Her New Book

If we are judging her book by its cover, we're in for a beautiful read.

Sally Rooney is the critically acclaimed author that has given us Beautiful World Where Are You?, Conversations With Friends and of course the iconic Normal People.

She's just announced that this September we can expect the newest installment in her literary canon - Intermezzo.

Arriving to Aus shores on the 24th September to be exact, Intermezzo promises to be an "exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family".

Read more about the plot for Sally's next page-turner here:

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.

Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties - successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death, he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women - his enduring first love Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.

Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.

For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude - a period of desire, despair and possibility - a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.
