Normal People focuses on the key events between two characters, Marianne and Connell, sometimes jumping forward, minuted, weeks, or months. It starts with the two of them in secondary school when they initiate a relationship that Connell wants kept secret from everyone. We also see them together at university, as their social dynamic shifts. What we REALLY see is a whole lot of miscommunication.
Do we blame Connell for his treatment of Marianne during secondary school? How might the story have changed if Connell and Marianne were better communicators? How does this book help destigmatize mental health issues? Join us as we discuss these questions and more in episode seven of our spoiler-filled podcast.
Questions: The questions discussed in this episode come straight from the publisher, which is Penguin Random House. We did pick and choose the questions we like from the entire list of questions. -> https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/592625/normal-people-by-sally-rooney/9781984822185/readers-guide/
Great music, huh?! The music for the intro and outro are segments from a song titled "Busy City" by TrackTribe, which was accessed through the YouTube audio library.
