«Gent normal» is the novel by Sally Rooney, published by Edicions del Periscopi in paperback (304 pages, in Catalan).
Connell and Marianne have grown up in the same Irish town but in very different worlds: he is popular and she lives apart, daughter of the house where his mother works. Despite the social differences, an intense connection arises between them that they try to keep secret. The novel explores the inability to communicate, the need for others to define oneself, and the power and dominance dynamics woven into love.
The work corresponds to the original title «Normal People», belongs to the Antípoda collection (number 40), and was translated into Catalan by Ernest Riera i Arbussà.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and literary narrative seeking a story about relationships and social class with a psychological focus.
