Public ISBD Titre : Conversations with friends Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sally Rooney, Auteur Editeur : London : Faber & Faber Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 338 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-571-33313-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 820 Littérature de langue anglaise Résumé : D'après l'éditeur : "A sharply intelligent novel about two college students and the strange, unexpected connection they forge with a married couple. Frances is twenty-one years old, cool-headed, and darkly observant. A college student and aspiring writer, she devotes herself to a life of the mind--and to the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi, her best friend and comrade-in-arms. Lovers at school, the two young women now perform spoken-word poetry together in Dublin, where a journalist named Melissa spots their potential. Drawn into Melissa's orbit, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband. Private property, Frances believes, is a cultural evil--and Nick, a bored actor who never quite lived up to his potential, looks like patriarchy made flesh. But however amusing their flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy neither of them expect. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally even with Bobbi. Desperate to reconcile herself to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances's intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment."

Normal people / Sally Rooney / London : Faber & Faber (2018)

Public ISBD Titre : Normal people Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sally Rooney, Auteur Editeur : London : Faber & Faber Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 284 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-571-33465-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 820 Littérature de langue anglaise Résumé : D'après l'éditeur : "At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school soccer team while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her housekeeping job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers - one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years in college, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. Then, as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship."

If he’s lucky, if nothing goes wrong, he only has two years of this, 729 more nights.

He will soon find out what Defenders do and who the Others are. Along with the rest of his squad, he will endure cold and fear day after day, night after night.

It’s about a broken world you will recognise as your own—and about what might be found when all is lost.
