Hi! Can anyone recommend duologies where the protagonists are adults and the books are not of the fantasy genre? The duologies I see online are YA and mostly fantasy.
Christopher Koch wrote a pair of books that almost function as a polyptich. **Out of Ireland** and **Highways to a War** belong together, but can be read in either order, and whichever one you read first will change how you understand the other.
The first time I read it, I read **Out of Ireland** first. Coming back to it years later, I did it the other way…and it was a totally different experience.

Jacqueline Carey’s Sundering duology — very inspired by Lord of the Rings but not as black and white.

Cormac McCarthy’s The Passenger and Stella Maris?
Lawrence Durrell, *Tunc* and *Nunquam*.
Vicious and Vengeful by VE Schwab?
Just curious… why duology?
