Henpicked’s book of the month for April 2022…
Thank you so much to everyone who has joined in the discussion about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, please do join in the conversation at the bottom of the article on Disqus. What did you think of it? Would you recommend it to a friend?
For this month we’ve chosen Normal People by Sally Rooney.
About Normal People
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner.
But when the two strike up a conversation – awkward but electrifying – something life-changing begins.
Here are the reviews:
‘The best novel published this year.’ The Times
‘Quite astonishing.’ Independent
‘The most enjoyable novel of the year.’ Daily Telegraph
‘The best book I read last year.’ Nigella Lawson
‘Love, sex, class, work, miscommunication and melancholy are all described in prose that is somehow at once lapidary and mysterious; glittering but with the feeling of something moving like weather behind the sentences.’ New Statesman Books of the Year
