BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU?: Sally Rooney

Once There Were Wolves next to a cup of tea

BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU

by Sally Rooney

If there is a buzz book for 2021 it is this one! Before it even hit shelves, thousands of words had been dedicated to this highly anticipated novel and its headline-drawing author. And having read it, what’s my verdict? Well, as even Rooney’s detractors will tell you, it’s an ‘easy read’, one that will have you turning the pages. If you were a fan of Normal People and Conversations with Friends, this book won’t disappoint. Rooney delivers another story that deep dives into the minds of young Irish friends, peeling back the layers to reveal their fears, hopes and loves.
