About this listen

'A nuanced, page-turning portrait.' Zadie Smith
'Brilliant.' Marian Keyes
'A sharp, darkly funny comment on modern relationships.' Sunday Telegraph

The critically-acclaimed debut novel from the globally bestselling author of Normal People and Beautiful World, Where Are You.

Frances is twenty-one years old, cool-headed and observant. At night she performs spoken word with her best friend Bobbi, who used to be her girlfriend. When they are befriended by Melissa, a well-known journalist who is married to Nick, an actor, they enter a world of beautiful houses, raucous dinner parties and holidays in Provence, beginning a complex ménage-à-quatre. But when Frances and Nick get unexpectedly closer, Frances is forced to honestly confront her own vulnerabilities for the first time.

Critic reviews

"This book. This book. I read it in one day. I hear I'm not alone." (Sarah Jessica Parker)

"Rooney shares with Plath a knack for particularising a feminine consciousness, and this novel is the best I've read on what it means to be young and female right now." (Daily Mail)

"Sally Rooney writes with a rare, thrilling confidence, in a lucid and exacting style uncluttered with the sort of steroidal imagery and strobe flashes of figurative language that so many dutifully literary novelists employ. This isn't to say that the novel lacks beauty. Its richness blooms quietly." (New Yorker)

Most relevant

Sally Rooney successfully depicts the awkwardness' of a young verbally emotionally repressed but intelligent, observant twenty old student. The voices are read beautifully; and characters come across naturally.. The awkwardness is so pervasive that there are points that I found this book repulsive and annoying and this seemed to mirror how Frances felt towards the end of the book. I could relate to some aspects of Frances' character and felt my twenty odd year old smiling cringingly back !. Sally Rooney unravels twenty year olds and shows the deeper complexities of relationships and is able to highlight socio economic differences in society clearly.
