Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018
Normal People by Sally Rooney tells the story of two young adults, Connell and Marianne, who grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. Despite coming from very different worlds, they form a deep connection that lasts even after they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin.
The novel beautifully portrays how one person can profoundly impact and change the life of another. It illustrates the difficulties that arise when trying to express one’s feelings and explores themes of domination, privilege, and legitimacy, particularly as they relate to cycles within relationships. Alternating between moments of tenderness and menace, Normal People captures the essence of human emotion with stunning authenticity.
Experience the captivating narrative of Normal People, a novel that breathes new life into the world of fiction.
