Normal People – Sally Rooney (anglicky)

When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years. This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel.   Review The best novel published this year. ― The TimesA future classic. ― GuardianQuite astonishing. ― IndependentThe most enjoyable novel of the year. ― Daily TelegraphThe best young novelist - indeed one of the best novelists - I've read in years. -- Olivia Laing ― New StatesmanRooney has given us a spellbinding twenty-first-century love story, and asserted herself as one of the major young writers in the English-speaking world. ― TLSEffortlessly brilliant . . . tender and devastating. ― Guardian Books of the YearThe best book I read last year. -- Nigella LawsonBest novel this year by a country mile is Normal People by Sally Rooney . . . Brilliant. ― Spectator Books of the YearLove, sex, class, work, miscommunication and melancholy are all described in prose that is somehow at once lapidary and mysterious; glittering but with the feeling of something moving like weather behind the sentences. ― New Statesman Books of the YearRooney's second novel is one you read in three days flat, a Tube stop-missing, escalator-reading tale . . . Rooney's style is pure poetry, sparse and heartbreaking, and writing this three months after I finished it I find my chest still aches for the pair of them. ― Evening Standard Books of the Year     About the Author Sally Rooney is the author of the novels Conversations with Friends and Normal People.
