[T]he idealized reading experience Rooney casts for her young writer is a magnetic mingling of literary minds that sharpens an intelligence capable not merely of imagining others but of imagining how to be close to them, even how to live with the responsibility of their happiness and dreams. [U]pon critical reflection, the novel’s territory comes to seem like more fog than not. Which is to say: it’s a novel about university life, but without collegiate descriptions or interactions with professors or references to intellectual histories or texts; about growing up, but without any adults [. . .]; about Ireland, but without any sense of place, national history, or even physical description (if Joyce wrote Ulysses in order that Dublin might be reconstructed brick by brick, you’d be hard pressed to even break ground using Normal People); about Connell becoming a writer, but without any meaningful access to his interior development, or any sense conveyed of how his creative “passion” inflects his life; and, finally, about Marianne and Connell’s intertwined fate where we are only intermittently given access to sustained moments of intimacy. Rooney's slivers of insight into how Marianne and Connell wrestle with their emotions and question their identity in the process made it one of the most realistic portrayals of young love I've read. Their relationship is rife with mistakes, misunderstandings, and missed chances that could be simplified if only they communicated and didn't subconsciously suppress their feelings, as millennials are wont to do. Here, youth, love and cowardice are unavoidably intertwined, distilled into a novel that demands to be read compulsively, in one sitting. [W]hile Rooney may write about apparent aimlessness and all the distractions of our age, her novels are laser-focused and word-perfect. They build power by a steady accretion of often simple declarative sentences that track minuscule shifts in feelings.

"At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He's popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her 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 at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And 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" -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

È vero che siamo tuttu normali in maniera diversa, ma a questo serve avere una vita sociale: si incontrano altre normalità, le si conosce e ci si stabiliscono dei rapporti, a volte buoni, a volte meno buoni.
Rooney è riuscita a scrivere un romanzo godibilissimo senza raccontare niente di che, due vite, quelle di Connell e Marianne, che, anche se non ci sono affini in prima persona, abbiamo incrociato qua e là nei nostri rapporti sociali. Perché sono – appunto – persone normali.
Non ne scrivo in maniera follemente entusiasta perché nel finale non mi ha convinto. Gli eventi delle ultimi pagine mi sono sembrati molto costruiti e per me hanno rotto la finzione letteraria, gettando un’ombra sgradevole sul resto del romanzo. Oltre al fatto che, passati i giorni, il mio ricordo di Persone normali si fa sempre più sfumato.
Potrebbe essere una buona lettura estiva: se non l’avete ancora letto e volete sapere perché è un romanzo così chiacchierato, potrebbe essere un buon titolo da leggere in vacanza (tenendo conto che c’è della violenza domestica che magari potrebbe rovinarvi il relax). ( )
