He has always seen himselfas socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother.
Now,in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older womanemerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly andintensely intertwined.Fortwo grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude - aperiod of desire, despair and possibility - a chance to find out how much onelife might hold inside itself without breaking.
