NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the celebrated author of Conversations with Friends comes a stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships, hailed as a masterpiece (Minneapolis Star Tribune). Among new millennial novelists, none connect with readers as intimately as Sally Rooney (Entertainment Weekly). WINNER OF THE AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARD - WINNER OF THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD - LONGLISTED FOR: THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE - THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE - THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION - THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE - THE KERRY GROUP IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD. At school, Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other—he's popular and well-adjusted, while she is lonely and intensely private. A strange connection forms when Connell picks up his mother from Marianne's house, one they strive to keep hidden. A year later at Trinity College, Marianne thrives socially, while Connell remains shy and uncertain. Throughout university, they circle each other, drawn back together despite exploring other relationships. As Marianne veers into self-destruction and Connell searches for meaning, they must confront how far they will go to save one another. Rooney's psychological acuity and spare prose explore class, first love, and the complexities of family and friendship. Critics praise her as a leading millennial voice, noting her keen observations on love and societal dynamics.
