Cornell and Marianne grew up in a small town in western Ireland. At school, Cornell was popular, while Marianne was considered an eccentric and a loner. However, a heart-wrenching conversation changed their relationship and their lives forever.
A year later, both arrived at Trinity College in Dublin to study and reunited at a party. Marianne was now active in the university social scene, while Cornell was a marginal figure, shy and lacking in confidence. For several years, each of them interacted with others, yet an irresistible magnetism seemed to draw them together. They were like "two plants in a pot of soil, growing around each other, twisting and turning to make room, forming some incredible posture." In the end, as she spiraled towards self-destruction and he sought meaning elsewhere, how could they save each other? How can one person change another? How can one express their inner feelings so that others can truly feel them?
Following "Chat Notes", Sally Rooney uses her excellent psychological description and gentle and delicate writing style in her second novel "Normal People" to explore the subtle class relations, the passion, fragility and crisis of first love, and the complex entanglement of family relationships and friendship, injecting new vitality into contemporary novels.
