Connell e Marianne cresceram na mesma pequena cidade da Irlanda, mas as semelhanças acabam aqui. Na escola, Connell é popular e bem- -visto por todos, enquanto Marianne é uma solitária que aprendeu com dolorosas experiências a manter-se à margem dos colegas. Quando têm uma animada conversa na cozinha de Marianne — difícil, mas eletrizante —, as suas vidas começam a mudar.Pessoas Normais é uma história de fascínio, amizade e amor mútuos, que acompanha a vida de um casal que tenta separar-se mas que acaba por entender que não o consegue fazer. Mostra-nos como é complicado mudar o que somos. E, com uma sensibilidade espantosa, revela-nos o modo como aprendemos sobre sexo e poder, o desejo de magoar e ser magoado, de amar e ser amado.
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.

An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family—but especially love—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.
My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all.Years ago, Sukie moved in with Nathan because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable.Sally Rooney is one of the most acclaimed young talents of recent years. With her minute attention to the power dynamics in everyday speech, she builds up sexual tension and throws a deceptively low-key glance at love and death.
