Beautiful World, Where Are You Is Rooney's Best Novel. THE TIMES

*The Sunday Times and Global number one bestseller*
*Winner of Novel of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards*

Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he'd like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend Eileen is getting over a break-up and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.

Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are still young - but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. They worry about sex and friendship and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

'A tour de force. The dialogue never falters, and the prose burns up the page.'
GUARDIAN

'Rooney's strongest writing thus far . . . There is a touching honesty and truthfulness in these pages, along with a quiet brilliance.'
FINANCIAL TIMES

'The book moved me to tears more than once . . . Rooney's Best Novel.

Brandon Taylor , NEW YORK TIMES

Written with immense skill and illuminated by an endlessly incisive intelligence.
IRISH TIMES

Nicht so gut wie normal People, berührt aber trotzdem.

Ich hab dieses Buch geliebt. Ich hab’s zuhause gelesen, in der Schule, in der Bahn und in schwierigen Momenten. So viele rohe intensive Gefühle, die ich noch nie zuvor so beschrieben sehen habe. Einfach wunderschön, sobald man in den Schreibstil kommt ist es auch einfach nur angenehm und schnell zu lesen. Sally Rooney ist und bleibt einer meiner absoluten Lieblings Autoren. Ist nicht für jeden was, aber wer mitfühlen und weinen will, dann los!

Anspruchsvolles Buch

Dieses Buch ist eine anspruchsvolle Charakterstudie von vier Personen. Teilweise kann man sich gut in die Charaktere hineinversetzen und sie spiegeln auch "normale" und alltägliche Probleme wider. Teilweise sind sie aber auch wenig liebenswert, fast unausstehlich. Zwischendrin philosophieren sie über die Gesellschaft, Politik, das Klima oder ähnlichem, was aus meiner Sicht wenig zur Geschichte beiträgt. Alles in allem ein schwieriges Buch, das teils gleichzeitig auch zum Nachdenken anregt.

i'm not disappointed but i'm certainly underwhelmed. while it's a well-written book, i didn't connect with it at all, it felt hard to read, it took me over a month, and i didn't take much away from it. thinking about it now, i can't tell what it was that made me love sally rooney's other books so much - of course this one is similar. but whatever the thing is, it was missing for me here. the long e-mails were too long, the other parts i quite enjoyed reading, but the characters were so frustratingly far away that i didn't feel anything. and i know you're not supposed to relate to them, you shouldn't feel like you know them, and that's the point, and it's well done, but it's just not for me. giving this 3 stars for now because i enjoyed reading the first half, and it's objectively a well written book, timely and smart and all that. also, i loved how the pandemic played a part in it all! but other than that...not what i wanted it to be.

I’m a simple girl, I read Rooney’s books I fall in love. BWWAY ist ihr bestes Werk bis jetzt, so gefesselt von zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen fiktiver, aber doch so realistisch geschriebener, Charaktere kann man nur bei ihren Romanen sein. Sie schreibt so unfassbar schön, ihr Schreibstil ist einzigartig und hat sich im Vergleich zu Normal People/ CWF unglaublich stark entwickelt. Cannot express how much I adore her.

Sally Rooney makes me cry.every.single.time.
