February's Middletown Book for Discussion: Intermezzo (February 28)

 

​

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, February 28.  Our title is Intermezzo by Sally Rooney. Here is a brief summary:

"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. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. 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."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table. In addition to discussing An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their January 3 meeting:
