Marianne on noor, jõukas ja intelligentne autsaider. Connell on poiss, kes vaatamata oma pere vaesusele ja halvale mainele kõigile meeldib. Kooliõest ja -vennast saavad ootamatult sõbrad, hiljem armastajad, ent kui väikelinnaelu asendub Dublini tudengimeluga, paistab minevik seljataha jäävat. Mis juhtub, kui pöörasest kiindumusest kujuneb võimu, ühiskondliku klassi ja enesepettuse lahingutander? „Normaalsed inimesed” on romaaniga „Vestlused sõpradega” (e.k 2019) maailmaareenile tõusnud iiri kirjaniku Sally Rooney (snd 1991) teine teos. Pealtnäha lihtsakoeline lugu kahe esmapilgul vastandliku noore keerulistest suhetest ja eneseleidmisest kätkeb endas midagi universaalset: uurimust, kuidas üks inimene võib teist igavesti vormima ja mõjutama jääda. Nüüdisaja üheks tundlikumaks ja terasemaks vaatlejaks nimetatud Rooney „Normaalsete inimeste” põhjal on valminud menukas BBC seriaal.
