He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school soccer team while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her housekeeping job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers - one they are determined to conceal. 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 in college, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. Then, 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. (  ) LynneQuan | Aug 28, 2023 | Me atrapo con cada página, a pesar de ya conocer la historia por haber visto la serie (por la cual claramente conocí la novela). Excelente forma de salirse del clásico estereotipo de pareja joven que va y viene a lo largo de su relación ya que logro hacer la historia muy madura, entretenida y empática mas allá de los clichés. Sin duda seguiré leyendo mas de Sally Rooney. (  ) mahebelen | Aug 25, 2023 | Rooney carefully reveals the interior lives, and thus the personalities, of her two main characters with attention to dialog and atmospheric detail. While distinct and memorable, Connell and Marianne are also containers of universals. Class, privilege, and gender roles come into play along side family disfunction, trauma, and questions of personal agency and choice as Connell and Marianne navigate their particular coming of age passages. Original and engrossing read. (  ) rebwaring | Aug 14, 2023 | Frustrating and engrossing. ( ) blueskygreentrees | Jul 30, 2023 |
 [T]he idealized reading experience Rooney casts for her young writer is a magnetic mingling of literary minds that sharpens an intelligence capable not merely of imagining others but of imagining how to be close to them, even how to live with the responsibility of their happiness and dreams.  [U]pon critical reflection, the novel’s territory comes to seem like more fog than not. Which is to say: it’s a novel about university life, but without collegiate descriptions or interactions with professors or references to intellectual histories or texts; about growing up, but without any adults [. . .]; about Ireland, but without any sense of place, national history, or even physical description (if Joyce wrote Ulysses in order that Dublin might be reconstructed brick by brick, you’d be hard pressed to even break ground using Normal People); about Connell becoming a writer, but without any meaningful access to his interior development, or any sense conveyed of how his creative “passion” inflects his life; and, finally, about Marianne and Connell’s intertwined fate where we are only intermittently given access to sustained moments of intimacy. Rooney's slivers of insight into how Marianne and Connell wrestle with their emotions and question their identity in the process made it one of the most realistic portrayals of young love I've read. Their relationship is rife with mistakes, misunderstandings, and missed chances that could be simplified if only they communicated and didn't subconsciously suppress their feelings, as millennials are wont to do. Here, youth, love and cowardice are unavoidably intertwined, distilled into a novel that demands to be read compulsively, in one sitting. [W]hile Rooney may write about apparent aimlessness and all the distractions of our age, her novels are laser-focused and word-perfect. They build power by a steady accretion of often simple declarative sentences that track minuscule shifts in feelings.

"Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything."
"Generally I find that men are a lot more concerned with limiting the freedoms of women than exercising personal freedom for themselves, says Marianne." (
