Both are sharp, emotionally intelligent stories about intimacy, friendship, class and the tangled business of loving other people. Written in Rooney's spare, unmistakable style, these modern favourites have earned devoted readers, critical acclaim and worldwide bestseller status, with Normal People adapted into a hit television series. This set is a perfect introduction to one of Ireland's most talked-about writers. About the Books: In Conversations with Friends , twenty-one-year-old Frances is a cool-headed, observant student and aspiring writer in Dublin. By night she performs spoken-word poetry with her best friend and former girlfriend, Bobbi. When the pair befriend Melissa, an established journalist, and her actor husband Nick, Frances is drawn into an affair and a dazzling adult world of parties, holidays and complicated loyalties. It is a wry, incisive debut about art, power, jealousy and the shifting boundaries of friendship and desire. In Normal People , Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland but move in very different social circles. A quiet, electric connection binds them, and over years, from school to university and beyond, they circle one another through love, misunderstanding and change. Tender and precise, it is a profound study of how two people can shape and save each other. Together these novels showcase Rooney's gift for dialogue and her clear-eyed compassion, making the set ideal for book clubs, students and anyone who loves character-driven contemporary fiction.
