About This Event

Join Sally Rooney, author of the critically-acclaimed Conversations with Friends, on 6th September as she speaks to writer, editor and critic Lara Feigel about Normal People, an exquisite love story about how one person can change another person's life and how difficult it can be to talk about how we feel. 
Normal People follows Connell and Marianne, who grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years. Alternating menace with overwhelming tenderness, Sally Rooney's second novel breathes fiction with new life. 
Sally Rooney was born in 1991 and lives in Dublin. She is the youngest ever winner of the Sunday Times PFD Young Writer of the Year Award.​​ Her first novel ​​​Conversations with Friends was a Sunday Times, Guardian, Observer, Daily Telegraph and Evening Standard Book of the Year​,​ receiving the most mentions in the end of year round-ups for a debut book in 2017.​ ​Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, New York Times, London Review of Books and Granta. Conversations with Friends was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize and the Rathbone's Folio Prize. In 2017 she was shortlisted for the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award 2017.
