Sally Rooney

Sally Rooney is an Irish author of three published novels.

“She is so strong on dialogue and there is something both youthful and deeply mature in her writing. It’s really exhilarating to read a debut that’s so good.” says Arifa Akbar about Conversations with Friends in her interview on the best novels of 2017.

Rooney’s second novel Normal People had massive international success thanks to the phenomenon that was the subsequent BBC/Hulu television adaptation starring Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Her third book Beautiful World, Where Are You had a mixed reception. “The result, as might be guessed, is a more self-conscious book than her first two, but it is not, I think, a worse one.” Cal Flyn, Deputy Editor in her review.
