Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he’d like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend, Eileen, is getting over a break-up, and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood. Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon are still young—but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart.

Dos amigas se acercan a la treintena en ciudades distintas y tras mucho tiempo sin verse. Alice, novelista, conoce a Felix, que trabaja en un almacén, y le pide que la acompañe a Roma para promocionar su último libro. En Dublín, su mejor amiga, Eileen, está superando una ruptura y empieza a flirtear con Simon, un chico al que conoce desde que eran niños.

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties - successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death, he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother.

Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life-changing begins. Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find they can't.

Marianne y Connell son compañeros de instituto pero no se cruzan palabra. Él 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 mansión y que la madre de Connell se encarga de su limpieza, pero nadie imagina que cada tarde los dos jóvenes coinciden. Uno de esos días, una conversación torpe dará comienzo a una relación que podría cambiar sus vidas.

Le livre phénomène, vendu à plus d'un million de copies. Le best-seller qui a fait la tête des listes du "Sunday Times" et du "New York Times". Connell et Marianna vivent dans la même petite ville irlandaise, mais tandis que Connell est le garçon populaire du lycée, et vit avec sa mère célibataire dans une petite maison, Marianne est première de classe, mal aimée, et vit avec sa mère et son frère dans une grande villa. La mère de Connell est leur femme de ménage.

A parte il fatto di essere fratelli, Peter e Ivan Koubek sembrano avere poco in comune. Peter è un avvocato di Dublino sui trent'anni - affermato, abile e apparentemente irreprensibile. Ma, ora che gli è morto il padre, prende farmaci per dormire e si barcamena con fatica fra due relazioni con donne molto diverse: il primo, imperituro amore, Sylvia, e Naomi, una studentessa universitaria per cui la vita è un'unica lunga barzelletta. Ivan è un campione di scacchi ventiduenne. Si è sempre considerato uno sfigato, un paria, l'antitesi del suo disinvolto fratello maggiore.

Connell e Marianne frequentano la stessa scuola di Carricklea, un piccolo centro dell'Irlanda rurale appena fuori Sligo. A parte questo, non hanno niente in comune. Lei appartiene a una famiglia agiata e guasta che non le fa mancare nulla tranne i fondamenti dell'amore e del rispetto. Lui è il figlio di una donna pratica e premurosa che per mantenerlo fa la domestica in casa d'altri (quella della madre di Marianne). Nell'inventario di vantaggi e svantaggi, l'inferiorità economica di Connell è bilanciata sul piano sociale.

Ivan et Peter, deux frères que les années ont éloignés, se retrouvent à la mort de leur père. Ivan, vingt-deux ans, est un brillant joueur d’échecs, ultrasensible et solitaire. Peter, juriste renommé de Dublin, est un trentenaire aux multiples conquêtes. Tous deux vivent des amours périlleuses pendant ce moment délicat du deuil, intermède de vie où la fragilité n’exclut pas l’aventure. Avec Intermezzo, l’Irlandaise Sally Rooney signe un nouveau roman sensuel et fascinant dans la veine de Normal People, où les personnages se mettent à nu, les couples se font et se défont dans une délicieuse confusion des sentiments.

Mr Salary is Nathan. Sukie moved in with him years ago because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable. My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all. In Colour and Light, Aidan and Pauline watch a firework display together. They are almost strangers. But their stumbling connection pains Aidan more than any casual flirtation.

Intermezzo ist die Geschichte zweier ungleicher Brüder. Als Ivan klein war und Peter ein Teenager, standen die beiden sich nahe, später wurden sie einander immer fremder. Als sie ihren Vater verlieren, reißen alte Wunden auf. Ihre Schuldgefühle, ihre Suche nach Sinn und Nähe treiben beide Brüder zu den Frauen in ihren Leben. Doch jeder von ihnen muss einen Weg finden, eine übermächtige Aufgabe zu meistern: wirklich zu trauern. Und wirklich zu lieben.

Die Poetry-Slammerinnen Frances und Bobbi, Studentinnen in Dublin, lernen das gut zehn Jahre ältere Ehepaar Melissa und Nick kennen. Während Bobbi von Melissa fasziniert ist, beginnt Frances mit dem attraktiven Nick eine Affäre. Doch je ernster es zwischen den beiden wird, desto mehr bröckelt die Freundschaft zu Bobbi. Ein intensiver Roman über Intimität, Untreue und die Möglichkeit der Liebe - eine hinreißend kluge Antwort auf die Frage, wie es ist, heute jung und weiblich zu sein.
