Mr B's review

Incredibly intelligent and insightful in its analysis of modern relationships. No matter how many times I come back to this book, I’m always astounded by Rooney’s precise and nuanced prose and the way she writes dialogue so naturally, with the conversations that flow through the novel effortlessly building up the complex layers of connection between its characters. I read it in one sitting.

Description

‘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 menage-a-quatre. But when Frances and Nick get unexpectedly closer, Frances is forced to honestly confront her own vulnerabilities for the first time.
