Conversations with Friends By Sally Rooney

STEP INTO THE SHARP, WITTY, AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY RIVETING DEBUT NOVEL FROM THE GLOBALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NORMAL PEOPLE AND INTERMEZZO.

“Brilliant, funny and startling.” — The Guardian

“A nuanced, page-turning portrait.” — Zadie Smith

Frances is twenty-one: cool-headed, observant, and deeply guarded. By day she is a university student in Dublin; by night, she performs spoken word poetry alongside her best friend and former girlfriend, Bobbi. When the two women are drawn into the sophisticated orbit of Melissa—a well-known journalist—and her handsome, reticent actor husband, Nick, their lives open up to a world of glamorous dinner parties, artistic conversations, and sun-drenched holidays in Provence.

What begins as intellectual fascination soon spirals into a complex, emotionally charged ménage-à-quatre. But when Frances and Nick embark on an unexpected secret affair, the intellectual armor Frances has carefully built around herself begins to crack, forcing her to confront her own vulnerabilities, insecurities, and the messy realities of human connection for the very first time.
