Normal People
£9.99
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. 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. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us – blazingly – about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege.
*** BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU IS OUT NOW***
‘The best young novelist – indeed one of the best novelists – I’ve read in years.’ Olivia Laing
‘Superb . . . a tremendous read, full of insight and sweetness.’ Anne Enright
‘One the best novels I have read in years.’ Sheila Heti
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation – awkward but electrifying – something life-changing begins.
Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find they can’t.
