Critics call Sally Rooney the "Salinger of the millennial generation." The novel has already been longlisted for the Booker Prize, and the film rights were bought by Hulu and the BBC. Normal People is a story about how one person affects the life of another and how difficult it is for us to talk about our feelings. This is a story about real, albeit very complex, love. Connell Waldron and Marianne Sheridan are in the same school and even the same class, but they hardly communicate - it's hard to imagine two more different people. At school, Connell is the soul of any company, one of the most popular guys, and Marianne is a withdrawn loner, maintaining relationships for the most part only with books. In real life, everything is different: she is from a very wealthy family, and he is from a poor one, his mother is a cleaner in the Sheridanov mansion... One day they still collide - in Marianne's kitchen, when Connell calls in for his mother. And this short-lived, awkward but electrifying conversation changes their lives forever.
