“What a treat to discover Sally Rooney! This novel stands out shining from the current onslaught of mediocre prose and less-than-suspenseful thriller plots. Normal People is the story of a relationship between two high school classmates in a small town in Ireland, and how it changes over time, through their last year of college in Dublin. Rooney’s spare and brilliant writing illuminates her insight and makes the unfolding of these two personalities completely compelling.”

Staff Reviews
Reviewers are calling it Great Millennial Fiction, but I’ll just go ahead and call it a comedy of errors set in present-day Ireland. If you like the writing of Rachel Cusk mixed with a touch of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, this is a novel you should read. It was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
