Rooney39。s second novel, which follows two young people falling in love in Ireland, has sold 41, 000 copies in hardback in the UK since it was released in Augustfive times the hardback sales of her 2017 debut, Conversations With Friends. At 27, Rooney is now the youngest winner of the award, which is given by the UK39。s biggest bookshop chain, Waterstones. Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release. Longlisted for the Man Booker prize, the book won novel of the year at the An Post Irish book awards in November of 2018 and has also been shortlisted for the Costa novel of the year, announced in January of 2019. The reader response to Normal People had been astonishing. As well as the universal praise, it has been a huge word ofmouth (口頭的) hit. There39。re customers returning to buy multiple copies as gifts. Normal People strengthened Sally Rooney39。s reputation as the voice of her generation and one of the most exciting novelists around today. Its success is a testament to the health of literary fiction and indicates that there is still significant appetite for excellent storytelling.

It has previously been won by the late American author John Williams39。s Stoner, the cookbook Polpo by Russell Norman, and last year39。s choice, Philip Pullman39。s La Belle Sauvage.
