Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. En Connell i la Marianne han crescut al mateix poble de l’interior d’Irlanda, però en realitat provenen de dos mons molt diferents. La Marianne és una noia orgullosa, inadaptada i solitària. En Connell és un dels nois més populars de l’institut. També és el fill de la dona de fer feines de la mansió on viu la Marianne. Quan, tot i les diferències socials, sorgeix entre ells una connexió especial, provaran de mantenir-la oculta. ( ) Aquest llibre m'ha desconcertat una mica: tenia tan bones crítiques que m'havia fet unes expectatives potser massa altes. Segur que també és determinant que la relació que descriu no és de la mesa generació i no la puc entendre del tot bé. Explica la història de dos amics del mateix poble però de dues classes socials, que tenen una relació que va canviant al llarg del temps però que, en tot cas, els configura la seva manera de ser i els condiciona les seves relacions amb els altres. Les seves famílies són molt diferents però, sempre una mica increïbles: la del noi per liberal, però sorbretot la de la noia, a qui rebutgen fins i tot físicament.
[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" -- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
