Hardwicke's smooth voice shifts to capture every mood--becoming desperately angry, bitter, and frantic yet also achingly tender, patient, and loving--as he performs a story of two grieving brothers.\"―AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)\n\nThis program is read by actor Éanna Hardwicke, known for his role in Hulu's Normal People.\n\nAn exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family―but especially love―from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.\n\nAside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.\n\nPeter 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.\n\nIvan 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.\n\nFor 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.\n\nA Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250363896\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250363896.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rooney, Sally|Hardwicke, Éanna\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
