Despues de Conversaciones entre amigos, Sally Rooney vuelve a deslumbrarnos con una historia sobre la fascinacion mutua entre dos personas que no consiguen encontrarse.

El libro que inspiro la serie de HULU.

Ganador del Costa Novel Award / Ganador del Irish Novel of the Year / Finalista del Man Booker Prize / Finalista del Women’s Prize for Fiction / En la lista de libros favoritos del 2019 del Presidente Obama y de Oprah Magazine.

Marianne y Connell son companeros de instituto pero no se cruzan palabra. El es uno de los populares y ella, una chica solitaria que ha aprendido a mantenerse alejada del resto de la gente. Todos saben que Marianne vive en una mansion y que la madre de Connell se encarga de su limpieza, pero nadie imagina que cada tarde los dos jovenes coinciden. Uno de esos dias, una conversacion torpe dara comienzo a una relacion que podria cambiar sus vidas.

Gente normal es una historia de fascinacion mutua, de amistad y de amor entre dos personas que no consiguen encontrarse, una reflexion sobre la dificultad de cambiar quienes somos. La segunda novela de Sally Rooney acompana durante anos a dos protagonistas magneticos y complejos, dos jovenes que llegamos a entender hasta en su contradiccion mas sonada y en sus mas graves malentendidos. Esta es una historia agridulce que muestra como nos conforman el sexo y el poder, el deseo de herir y ser herido, de amar y ser amado. Nuestras relaciones son una conversacion a lo largo del tiempo. Nuestros silencios, lo que las define.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE * NOW A HULU ORIGINAL SERIES 2020 * SALLY ROONEY NAMED TO THE 2019 TIME 100 NEXT LIST

A stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships (People) from the author of Conversations with Friends, a master of the literary page-turner (J. Courtney Sullivan).

NAMED ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY’S TEN BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE * NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly * People * The New York Public Library * Slate * Harvard Crimson AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Dwight Garner, The New York Times * The New York TImes Book Review * O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * NPR * The Washington Post * Vogue * Esquire * Glamour * Elle * Marie Claire * Vox * The Paris Review * Good Housekeeping * Town & Country * Kirkus Reviews * BookPage * BookRiot

Absolutely engrossing and surprisingly heartbreaking with more depth, subtlety, and insight than any one novel deserves. -Stephanie Danler

Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The
similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both
earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between
them lasts long into the following years.

This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another
person’s life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully
over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about
how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination,
legitimacy and privilege. Alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness,
Sally Rooney’s second novel breathes fiction with new life.
