Normal People

"Normal People" er Sally Rooney prisvindende og filmatiserede roman om to modsætningers kærlighedsforhold. Connell og Marianne voksede op i den samme lille by i den vestlige del af Irland. Men her slutter lighederne også. Marianne er lidt af en modig outsider fra en rig familie, som tør udfordre lærerne på deres intellekt. Connell er derimod en eftertragtet, flot ung mand, som sjældent siger for meget. Hans mor gør rent i Mariannes palæ, og her venter deres første akavede men elektriske møde, der bliver startskuddet til en lang og dyb kærlighedsrelation imellem to modsætninger. I "Normal People" fortæller Sally Rooney en smuk, varm og helstøbt fortælling om kærlighedens forandrende kræfter på tværs af tid, klasseforskelle og status.
