Having grown up in each other’s pockets, along comes a summer when the four are parted for the first time. Lena, the reluctant beauty feisty, big-tushied Carmen the anti-everything, mad-at-the-world Tibby and the over-achieving, statuesque athlete Bridget are friends literally since birth ( their mums shared a preggers-aerobics class). They care for each other, love each other, put aside fights and misunderstandings with a careless shrug and offer unstinted, non-judgmental support any time, everytime. The book is a far cry from the regular breed of YA novels which seem to dwell on the fixed notions that young girls basically fall into two main groups: One, the hatefully pretty, perpetually scheming Prom Queens with their nastier than “week-ol’ milk” cliques!

Normal People sucked all the air out of the room when it came out in the US in April, building on the success of Rooney’s much-buzzed-about 2017 debut, Conversations With Friends. “I can’t put it down,” said the woman next to me. As is usually the case at such events, everyone was talking about one particular book, the hot book of the moment, the one no one could stop thinking about - but for once, at this lunch full of people who have devoted their careers to making books for children, the title everyone was talking about wasn’t a children’s book. Earlier this summer, I attended a lunch for people who work with children’s books. |
