<p><span>Winner of the 2018 Costa Novel Award: Sally Rooney set the books world buzzing in 2017 with her debut&nbsp;</span><em>Conversations With Friends</em><span>;&nbsp;</span><em>Normal People</em><span>&nbsp;is a girl-meets-boy story with a difference, interrogating the difficulties of sincere communication in a complicated, post-ironic world.&nbsp;</span><span>Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018&nbsp;</span><span>Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years.&nbsp;</span><span>This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege. Alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness, Sally Rooney's second novel breathes fiction with new life.</span></p>
