Normal People

💫 Some people understand each other. Some people don’t.

From award-winning author Sally Rooney, Normal People is a deeply moving, internationally acclaimed novel that redefines what it means to love and be loved. Released in paperback on 1 May 2019, this literary sensation has captivated readers worldwide with its raw honesty and emotional depth.

Set in Ireland, the story follows Connell and Marianne, two teenagers from very different backgrounds who navigate the complexities of friendship, class, intimacy, and self-worth as they move from high school to university. As their relationship weaves in and out of romantic and platonic territory, Rooney explores the unspoken forces that shape our most meaningful connections.

Why Normal People became a global phenomenon:

✔ Winner of the Costa Novel Award and longlisted for the Booker Prize
✔ Adapted into a critically acclaimed Hulu/BBC series
✔ A tender portrayal of mental health, identity, and emotional dependency
✔ Perfect for fans of Elena Ferrante, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Taylor Jenkins Reid
✔ Rooney’s sharp, minimalist prose makes every moment feel authentic and piercing

Normal People is not just a love story — it’s a portrait of what happens when two people are deeply connected but never quite in sync, told with empathy, insight, and breathtaking vulnerability.
