So when BBC Three and Hulu ordered a 12-episode television series based on the book, suffice it to say that expectations were high. The book was an instant hit, with Rooney’s uncanny ability to make an entire generation of readers feel seen and understood, earning her the moniker of the millennial soothsayer. Over the course of the story, the two enter a secret relationship, break up, reunite in college, break up again-you get the picture. A sparse, brainy exploration of millennial-era connection and heartache, the novel follows prickly Marianne, a high school outcast, and popular Connell, whose mother works as a cleaning lady for Marianne’s family.
When it was published in 2018, Sally Rooney’s Normal People was everywhere: on Instagram, on the subway, in airports, and on coffee shop corners.
