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.
