Normal People by Sally Rooney (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of Normal People, the book that became the popular serie of the same name, with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Normal People by Sally Rooney, which traces the on-off relationship between Connell and Marianne as they go through high school and then university together. Their relationship is threatened first by Connell’s reluctance to be seen with Marianne, who is an outcast at their school, and then by the class divide between them, but their connection never truly fades and they repeatedly find themselves drawn back together. As the follow-up to Sally Rooney’s acclaimed debut novel Conversations with Friends, Normal People was one of the most anticipated books of 2018. It was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2018 and won ‘Best Novel’ at the Costa Book Awards in the same year.
