I have started Normal People by Sally Rooney. I read a glowing review of the TV adaptation of this book and thought that it might be interesting to read. Then I discovered that we had a copy and two family members had read it. They were unimpressed, but I will try to have an open mind. Here’s the blurb:
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.
