“Normal People”
Sally Rooney
Lead: Annie Johnson
Marianne and Connell grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland, but the similarities end there as they are from very different worlds. His mother is her mother’s cleaner and, more importantly, he is cool, while she’s a geeky loner.
They fall in love but he pretends not to know her when at school and the relationship disintegrates. When they next meet both are studying at Trinity College. Now she is the cool one and he is lost among this new, worldlier set. They resume their relationship and the book charts its fluctuations and ruptures, alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness.
Sally Rooney’s award winning second novel breathes fiction with new life.
All welcome – no fees – just come along to listen even if you have not read the book.
