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.
