Originally published: 2018.
Connell and Marianne 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. This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege.

Reviews
What is 'normal' or ordinary? That is the question the reader is invited to ask: from the moment you read the cover to the last page. Humanity is all here. Sadness, violence, horror, joy, jealousy, kindness, cruelty, romance. This book is written by a young author, and the ending puzzles me - I wonder how an older writer would leave it? A good read for book groups.
