Connell and Marianne grew up in the same small town, but the similarities end there. At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation\u2014awkward but electrifying\u2014something life changing begins.<\/p>\n

A year later, they\u2019re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to\u00a0search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront\u00a0how far they are willing to go to save the other.<\/p>\n

Normal People<\/span>\u00a0is the 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 that they can\u2019t.

\u201c[A] novel that demands to be read compulsively, in one sitting.\u201d\u2014<\/span>The Washington Post<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cArguably the buzziest novel of the season, Sally Rooney\u2019s elegant sophomore effort . . . is a worthy successor to\u00a0Conversations with Friends<\/span>. Here, again, she unflinchingly explores class dynamics and young love with wit and nuance.\u201d\u2014<\/span>The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Rooney] has been hailed as the first great millennial novelist for her stories of love and late capitalism. . . . [She writes] some of the best dialogue I\u2019ve read.\u201d\u2014<\/span>The New Yorker<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
