Review
The best novel published this year. ― A future classic. ― >span class="a-text-italic">Guardian
Quite astonishing. ― Independent
The most enjoyable novel of the year. ― Daily Telegraph
The best young novelist - indeed one of the best novelists - I've read in years. -- Olivia Laing ― New Statesman
Rooney has given us a spellbinding twenty-first-century love story, and asserted herself as one of the major young writers in the English-speaking world. ― TLS
Effortlessly brilliant . . . tender and devastating. ― Guardian Books of the Year
The best book I read last year. -- Nigella Lawson
Best novel this year by a country mile is Normal People by Sally Rooney . . . Brilliant. ― Spectator Books of the Year
Love, sex, class, work, miscommunication and melancholy are all described in prose that is somehow at once lapidary and mysterious; glittering but with the feeling of something moving like weather behind the sentences. ― New Statesman Books of the Year
Rooney's second novel is one you read in three days flat, a Tube stop-missing, escalator-reading tale . . . Rooney's style is pure poetry, sparse and heartbreaking, and writing this three months after I finished it I find my chest still aches for the pair of them. ― Evening Standard Books of the Year
