Sally Rooney
Born in the west of Ireland, Sally Rooney’s work has appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times, Granta and The London Review of Books. In 2017 she was the winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. She is the author of Conversations with Friends and Normal People which was longlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize & was the winner of the Waterstones Book of the Year 2018.
Capturing the zeitgeist with all the skill and subtlety of her debut, Conversations with Friends, Sally Rooney’s Normal People follows the intersecting story of Marianne and Connell as they navigate the changing landscape of their relationship into adulthood. Both a study of how one person can irrevocably shape another, and a profound examination of love, power and influence, it is the novel of our time.
