NOW AN EMMY-NOMINATED HULU ORIGINAL SERIES • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • “A stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships” (People) from the author of Conversations with Friends, “a master of the literary page-turner” (J. Courtney Sullivan). “[A] novel that demands to be read compulsively, in one sitting.”—The Washington Post ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY’S TEN BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: People, Slate, The New York Public Library, Harvard Crimson Connell and Marianne grew up in the same small town, but the similarities end there. At 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. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Normal People is the 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 that they can’t.

Conversations with Friends
NOW A HULU ORIGINAL SERIES • From the New York Times bestselling author of Normal People . . . “[A] cult-hit . . . [a] sharply realistic comedy of adultery and friendship.”—Entertainment Weekly SALLY ROONEY NAMED TO THE TIME 100 NEXT LIST • WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK) YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD • ONE OF BUZZFEED’S BEST BOOKS OF THE DECADE • ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Vogue, Slate • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Elle Frances is a coolheaded and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, they meet a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into her world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman’s sophisticated home and handsome husband, Nick. But however amusing Frances and Nick’s flirtation seems at first, it begins to give way to a strange—and then painful—intimacy. Written with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship. SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD “Sharp, funny, thought-provoking . . . a really great portrait of two young women as they’re figuring out how to be adults.”—Celeste Ng, Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast “The dialogue is superb, as are the insights about communicating in the age of electronic devices. Rooney has a magical ability to write scenes of such verisimilitude that even when little happens they’re suspenseful.”—Curtis Sittenfeld, The Week “Rooney has the gift of imbuing everyday life with a sense of high stakes . . . a novel of delicious frictions.”—New York “A writer of rare confidence, with a lucid, exacting style . . . One wonderful aspect of Rooney’s consistently wonderful novel is the fierce clarity with which she examines the self-delusion that so often festers alongside presumed self-knowledge. . . . But Rooney’s natural power is as a psychological portraitist. She is acute and sophisticated about the workings of innocence; the protagonist of this novel about growing up has no idea just how much of it she has left to do.”—Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker “This book. This book. I read it in one day. I hear I’m not alone.”—Sarah Jessica Parker (Instagram)

THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Shortlisted for the An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year Named as an Essential Read by The New Yorker Named Best Book of the Year by: The New York Times • The Globe and Mail • TIME • The Winnipeg Free Press • The Guardian • The Independent • NPR • Dazed • VOX • People • Kirkus Reviews • Publishers Weekly An exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties – successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women – his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined. For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude – a period of desire, despair and possibility – a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Lume frumoasă, unde ești
Se doresc, se amăgesc, își fac griji despre sex și despre lumea în care trăiesc. Poate că, pur și simplu, ne naștem ca să iubim și să ne facem griji pentru oamenii pe care îi știm și ca să continuăm să iubim și să ne facem griji chiar și atunci când există lucruri mai importante pe care ar trebui să le facem. Alice, romancieră, îl întâlnește pe Felix, care lucrează la un depozit, și îl întreabă dacă i-ar plăcea să meargă cu ea la Roma. În Dublin, prietena ei cea mai bună, Eileen, trece printr-o despărțire și începe din nou să flirteze cu Simon, pe care îl știe încă din copilărie. Alice, Felix, Eileen și Simon sunt încă tineri, însă viața îi prinde din urmă. Se află ei în ultima încăpere luminată dinaintea întunericului, martori la ceva neștiut?

Gente normal / Normal People
Después de Conversaciones entre amigos, Sally Rooney vuelve a deslumbrarnos con una historia sobre la fascinación mutua entre dos personas que no consiguen encontrarse. El libro que inspiró la serie de HULU. Ganador del Costa Novel Award / Ganador del Irish Novel of the Year / Finalista del Man Booker Prize / Finalista del Women’s Prize for Fiction / En la lista de libros favoritos del 2019 del Presidente Obama y de Oprah Magazine. Marianne y Connell son compañeros de instituto pero no se cruzan palabra. Él es uno de los populares y ella, una chica solitaria que ha aprendido a mantenerse alejada del resto de la gente. Todos saben que Marianne vive en una mansión y que la madre de Connell se encarga de su limpieza, pero nadie imagina que cada tarde los dos jóvenes coinciden. Uno de esos días, una conversación torpe dará comienzo a una relación que podría cambiar sus vidas. Gente normal es una historia de fascinación mutua, de amistad y de amor entre dos personas que no consiguen encontrarse, una reflexión sobre la dificultad de cambiar quienes somos. La segunda novela de Sally Rooney acompaña durante años a dos protagonistas magnéticos y complejos, dos jóvenes que llegamos a entender hasta en su contradicción más sonada y en sus más graves malentendidos. Esta es una historia agridulce que muestra como nos conforman el sexo y el poder, el deseo de herir y ser herido, de amar y ser amado. Nuestras relaciones son una conversación a lo largo del tiempo. Nuestros silencios, lo que las define.

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. 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.

Conversaciones entre amigos / Conversations with Friends
El gran debut de la joven Sally Rooney con una de las novelas de ficción más esperadas de 2018. Una historia fresca sobre el amor y contra las etiquetas en las relaciones. Ahora también una serie en HULU, de los realizadores de Normal People Tras recitar sus poemas en una velada literaria en Dublín, Frances y Bobbi conocen a Melissa, una atractiva escritora que quiere publicar un reportaje sobre ellas. Estas dos universitarias que en el pasado fueron pareja se verán atraídas hacia ella y su marido Nick: un matrimonio acomodado que se acerca a la cuarentena y con el que terminarán formando un complejo ménage à quatre. Ambientada en la bohemia artística irlandesa, esta historia de amores libres y relaciones ambiguas ofrece un retrato honesto de una generación que rechaza las etiquetas impuestas. Entre presentaciones de libros, estrenos teatrales y vacaciones en la Bretaña francesa, las conversaciones de los personajes convierten el debut de Sally Rooney en una novela de ideas marcada por unos diálogos ocurrentes y un hábil sentido del humor. La autora indaga en las delicadas crueldades de la interacción humana en una obra inteligente sobre la amistad, el deseo y los celos. Mientras sus personajes descubren el poder que tienen sobre los otros, Rooney articula una adictiva historia sobre el funcionamiento de la inocencia, el impacto de la infidelidad y el espejismo del libre albedrío. Conversaciones entre amigos ha situado a Rooney como una de las voces más prometedoras de su generación. Una obra aguda y reveladora que es a la vez una novela de iniciación, una comedia sobre el amor y un alegato feminista. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Conversations with Friends – the hit Gen Z drama from the makers of Normal People – is available on HULU Winner of the 2017 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year One of Vogue’s 10 Best Books of 2017 ∙ Slate’s 10 Favorite Books of the Year ∙ Elle.com’s Best Books of the Year ∙ The Cut’s Best Books by Women A sharply intelligent novel about friendship, lust, jealousy, and the unexpected complications of adulthood in the 21st century Frances is a cool-headed and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend and comrade-in-arms is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, Frances and Bobbi catch the eye of Melissa, a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into Melissa''s world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman''s sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband, Nick. However amusing and ironic Frances and Nick’s flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy, and Frances’s friendship with Bobbi begins to fracture. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally, terribly, with Bobbi. Desperate to reconcile her inner life to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances''s intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment. Written with gem-like precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship.

Gent normal
En Connell i la Marianne han crescut al mateix poble de l''interior d''Irlanda, però en realitat provenen de dos mons molt diferents. La Marianne és una noia orgullosa, inadaptada i solitària. En Connell és un dels nois més populars de l''institut. També és el fill de la dona de fer feines de la mansió on viu la Marianne. Quan, tot i les diferències socials, sorgeix entre ells una connexió especial, provaran de mantenir-la oculta. Gent normal és una història delicada sobre com una persona pot transformar la vida d''una altra. És també una novel·la contundent sobre la incomunicació, sobre com ens sentim, sobre com necessitem els altres per ser qui som i, sobretot, quines relacions de poder i domini s''estableixen dins les relacions amoroses. És irònica i seductora, perspicaç i atrevida. "Per què no poden ser tots els llibres així?" The Cut "D''aquí uns anys seguirem llegint aquest llibre. És increïblement important. L''autora va camí de convertir-se en la figura literària més important dels nostres dies." British Book Awards

Connell og Marianne er vokset op i den samme lille landsby i Irland, men det er også det eneste, de har til fælles. Marianne bor i den hvide palævilla med den lange indkørsel, Connells mor gør rent hos Mariannes familie. Connell er populær og afholdt i gymnasiet, Marianne er en enspænder, og hun ved af smertefuld erfaring, at det er bedst at undgå de andre fra skolen. Men da Connell og Marianne en dag indleder en samtale i Mariannes køkken – der på en gang er kejtet og inciterende – bliver det begyndelsen på en kærlighedshistorie, der kommer til at vare mange år frem og ændre deres liv for altid. Normale Mennesker er en udsøgt kærlighedsfortælling om, hvor stor betydning ét menneske kan have for et andet menneskes liv. Om hvor svært det kan være at udtrykke, hvad man føler, og om hvordan fascination, venskab, kærlighed, privilegier og magtforhold kan ændre sig igen og igen over tid. Pressen skriver: »Sally Rooneys lysende udforskning af ung kærlighed bør blive en klassiker. Frisk som et æble, favnende som få, og fuld af tiltro til at modgang kan overvindes ... ’Normale mennesker’ er en gave. Ingen der læser den, vil kunne undgå at blive løftet af den.« ****** – Politiken »Det er en af de mest rørende romaner, jeg længe har læst... En smuk historie, der borer sig ind i hjertet og bliver siddende længe efter endt læsning.« ****** – Søndag »Det kolossale isbjerg, denne kærlighedsroman er under vandoverfladen, yder forfatterindens succesdebut al ære og retfærdighed og kommer givetvis til at stå side om side med nye, danske forfattere som Theis Ørntoft og Caroline Albertine Minor på fremtidens klassikerhylde.« **** – Berlingske

Conversations entre amis
Dublin, de nos jours. Frances et Bobbi, deux anciennes amantes devenues amies intimes, se produisent dans la jeune scène artistique irlandaise comme poètes-performeuses. Un soir, lors d''une lecture, elles rencontrent Melissa, une photographe plus âgée qu''elles, mariée à Nick, un acteur. Ensemble, ils discutent, refont le monde, critiquent le capitalisme comme les personnages de Joyce pouvaient, en leur temps, critiquer la religion. Ils font des photographies, ils écrivent, ils vivent. C''est le début d''une histoire d''amitié, d''une histoire de séduction menant à un " mariage à quatre " où la confusion des sentiments fait rage : quand Frances tombe follement amoureuse de Nick et vit avec lui une liaison torride, elle menace soudainement l''équilibre global de leur amitié. Mais Conversations entre amis n''est pas qu''une banale histoire d''adultère : c''est avant tout le portrait attachant, empathique, des jeunes gens contemporains, ces millenials qui ne parviennent pas à trouver leur place dans le monde que leur ont laissé leurs aînés. La voix de Frances, poétique, désinvolte, parfois naïve, d''une extraordinaire fraîcheur est, par de multiples aspects, celle de sa génération. Traduit de l''anglais (Irlande) par Laetitia Devaux.

Normale mensen
Normale mensen van Sally Rooney is een intense liefdesgeschiedenis over de diepgaande invloed die geliefden op elkaars leven hebben – en het groeiende besef daarvan naarmate de jaren verstrijken. In Normale mensen vertelt Sally Rooney de liefdesgeschiedenis van Marianne en Connell. Normale mensen is nu ook verfilmd, de serie Normal people is in Nederland te zien op NPO3. Marianne en Connell groeien op in hetzelfde stadje in landelijk Ierland, waar hun verschillende werelden nauwelijks overlappen. Ze ontmoeten elkaar alleen wanneer de moeder van Connell het huis van Marianne schoonmaakt. Als ze beiden naar het prestigieuze Trinity College in Dublin gaan, blijkt op die universiteit dat zich door de jaren heen een diepe band heeft gevormd. Normale mensen van Sally Rooney is een verhaal over de diepgaande invloed die geliefden op elkaars leven hebben, en het groeiende besef daarvan naarmate de jaren verstrijken. Een intense roman die je je eigen liefdes laat herbeleven. ‘Het is vooral in de bespiegelingen van beide hoofdpersonen dat Rooney haar verbijsterende meesterschap toont.’ – de Volkskrant ‘Opnieuw schittert deze zelfverzekerde Ierse schrijver met een kalme roman waarin een onderhuids drama schuilt. – NRC Handelsblad ‘In bedrieglijk vanzelfsprekend proza dat zijn technisch vernuft soms welhaast verlegen lijkt te willen verbergen, tekent Rooney de eerste jongeren die weten dat ze het slechter zullen hebben dan hun ouders als een groep die zich, met het eigen gevoelsleven als enige houvast, een weg moet zoeken in een wereld die ideologisch en economisch op losse schroeven staat.’ – Humo ‘Meer! denk je, als het uit is. Nog meer! Niet stoppen!’ – De Groene Amsterdammer ‘En schrijven kan Rooney. Haar lezen is een ongemeen spannende ervaring. Rooney’s originaliteit schuilt in haar sensitiviteit en inzicht. Ze floreert in dialogen waarin mensen nooit precies onder woorden brengen wat ze bedoelen en in het commentaar dat die wankele inborst subtiel openbaart.’ – Trouw Tip DWDD Boekenpanel!

Persone normali
Marianne e Connell si parlano di tutto ma solo all''insaputa di tutti, si frugano i corpi e i sentimenti ma solo di nascosto, come pianeti dalle orbite imprevedibili si girano intorno, fra moti armonici e strazianti collisioni. Cosa impedisce a due ragazzi dei nostri giorni disinvolti di stare insieme in libertà e leggerezza? Gli squilibri di classe e potere? Le «stelle contrarie»? O solo l''orrore, e l''attrazione, della normalità? Nell''abbraccio in cui si stringono, però, «il suo corpo sposa quello di lei come quei materassi che pare facciano bene alla salute». E in quel quieto, benefico sostenersi sembra tacere ogni domanda. Dopo l''esplosivo debutto di Parlarne tra amici, Sally Rooney ci offre un nuovo, emozionante manuale sentimentale per la nostra modernità. «Il suo primo romanzo è stato universalmente e meritatamente acclamato. Era difficile credere che potesse mai scrivere qualcosa di meglio. Invece è successo». «The Guardian»

Où es-tu, monde admirable
Alice, une jeune romancière ayant connu un succès fulgurant, quitte Dublin pour s’installer dans un village d’Irlande. Elle fait la connaissance de Felix sur un site de rencontres. Eileen, la meilleure amie d’Alice, préfère rester dans la capitale et travaille pour un magazine littéraire. Elle renoue avec Simon, un copain d’enfance qui n’a jamais caché son attirance pour elle. Malgré la distance, Alice et Eileen se parlent presque tous les jours, ou plutôt elles s’écrivent. Des e-mails aussi drôles qu’intimes où elles laissent libre cours à leurs réflexions sur le sexe, l’amour, l’argent, l’amitié, la politique. Mais le monde s’assombrit. L’inégalité, l’injustice, la violence ne cessent de grandir. Comment continuer à se comprendre, s’aimer et admirer la beauté qui nous entoure quand le pire semble inévitable ? Après Normal People, Sally Rooney nous fait partager les rêves et les déceptions de ces enfants du siècle avec une franchise et une justesse remarquables. Traduit de l’anglais (Irlande) par Laetitia Devaux.

Intermezzo (svensk utgåva)
Förutom att de är bröder har Peter och Ivan Koubek inte mycket gemensamt. Peter, en idealistisk jurist i trettioårsåldern, är karismatisk och framgångsrik på ytan men kämpar i själva verket med att få kontroll över sitt liv. Hans tio år yngre bror Ivan är en allvarsam schackspelare, tyngd av stämpeln som före detta underbarn. Brödernas far har precis gått bort och sorgen får avståndet mellan dem att växa. På ett schackevenemang i en småstad lär Ivan känna trettiosexåriga Margaret, som precis har gått igenom en upprivande tid. Mellan dem utvecklas en öm och tafatt förståelse, som de båda är rädda att visa för omvärlden. Samtidigt gör Peter allt för att dölja sin oförmåga att välja mellan de två kvinnorna i sitt liv – sin första stora kärlek, Sylvia, och den rebelliska studenten Naomi. "Intermezzo" är en roman om överväldigande kärlek och sorg, om hämmande förväntningar och konventioner, men också om den frihet som finns i acceptans och försoning. "Sällan, om någonsin, har litteratur fyllt mig med sådan förtröstan. Det goda livet kanske trots allt ändå är möjligt." Dagens Nyheter ”Oemotståndligt.” SVT Kulturnyheterna "Är Sally Rooney tillbaka? Jo, det är hon, hon är i sitt esse ... det är elegant och framför allt en gripande historia." TV4 Nyhetsmorgon "[L]iksom Rooneys andra böcker är Intermezzo ett underbart, storstilat och medryckande drama. Det är faktiskt få aktiviteter i livet som är ljuvare än en helg i soffan med en stor påse smågodis, en obligatorisk ask näsdukar, och 450 sidor av det här slaget. Njut!" Sydsvenskan ”Rooney [gör] vår värld större, vackrare och intelligentare ... Jag kommer inte på något bättre kriterium för en bra roman än denna förmåga att få läsaren att glömma att vi tar del av litterära konstruktioner och inte riktiga människor.” Jönköpings-Posten "[B]riljant ... mitt i den blossande Harlequin-liknande passionen lyckas hon med konststycket att ge sina snygga, smarta romanfigurerar både psykologisk trovärdighet OCH litterär förhöjning." SR Kulturnytt "[A]llt som författaren rör vid blir så märkligt levande ... Det är som en AI-genererad bild där det inte spelar någon roll hur mycket man zoomar in, detaljerna fortsätter att vara lika knivskarpa ändå, inte minst tack vare Klara Lindells översättning som snyggt fångar romanens förtätade talspråk." Expressen "''Intermezzo'' är Sally Rooneys hittills starkaste roman. Här finns alla favoritteman, men ännu mer nyanserade ... [Översättaren] Klara Lindell är en utmärkt danspartner till Sally Rooney - följsam och lyhörd för skiftningar i språk och tempo." Borås Tidning "''Intermezzo'' är en genial bok. Sally Rooney skildrar trovärdigt två mycket olika bröders perspektiv och har en underbar förmåga att våga stanna i allvaret och kunna se alla sidor. Boken påminner en om vad kärlek är och övertygar en om att godhet finns." Upsala Nya Tidning "[K]anske är det den enkla förklaringen till varför jag inte helt förstår hur eller varför ''Intermezzo'' är så genomborrande bra - mer liv." Svenska Dagbladet

Conversas entre amigos
Descrita como "Salinger para a geração do Snapchat", Sally Rooney escreve um romance impactante e delicado sobre relações de poder, amizade e amor que permeiam todas as fases do nosso amadurecimento. Frances, uma estudante de vinte e um anos que vive em Dublin, é escritora e apresenta em público suas peças de poesia com Bobbi, sua ex-namorada e melhor amiga. Ela é tímida, austera e distante; Bobbi é mais comunicativa e de fácil trato. Quando Melissa, uma notável fotógrafa e ensaísta, se aproxima de ambas para oferecer um perfil em uma renomada revista, elas aceitam com entusiasmo. Enquanto o encanto de Bobbi por Melissa aumenta, Frances se aproxima pouco a pouco de Nick, o marido-ator não muito bem-sucedido, e a relação de poder que se estabelece entre os quatro se torna cada vez mais complexa. Escrito com precisão e inteligência, Conversas entre amigos é um relato impressionante das paixões e perigos da juventude. Neste romance de estreia, Sally Rooney consegue conciliar vulnerabilidade e força em um mundo que não tem nada de trivial.
