This is a novel that one enjoys like comfort food, with delight, all in a rush, and only once it has been consumed does one realise how formidable and nourishing it is, how heavy it sits inside you, a treat you'll be digesting long after you leave the table.' - The Australian 'Rooney's work is undeniably a voice for millennial fiction. It takes immense talent to write this well and make it look so easy. 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. Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. But when the two strike up a conversation - awkward but electrifying - something life-changing begins. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner.
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there.
