The other two Sally Rooneys
In addition to Sally Rooney's 'Normal People', I have now read her first novel 'Conversations with Friends' and I am mid-way through her third, 'Beautiful World Where are you?' I have enjoyed and am still enjoying all three. She is called a leading millenial author. Insecurity, doubts and submissive thoughts are unmistakable characteristics of a millenials mind, so it seems. This confirms my own impressions of some of the real-life millenials I know (and love.) For whatever thay have mentally gained compared to my generation, simplicity is not one of those things. When I was young you were either going out with someone or not, and going out meant certain things. These days, the shades of black or white are endless - shades of grey. If grey is happiness, fine.
