About the book
Normal People
by Sally Rooney
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small Irish town but occupy very different social worlds. At school, Connell is popular while Marianne is isolated, and they keep their growing relationship secret. When they both attend Trinity College Dublin, their social positions shift and their lives repeatedly pull them together and apart. The novel follows their complicated connection through friendship, love, intimacy, insecurity, and the ways two people can profoundly shape one another.
