8El gran debut de la joven Sally Rooney con una de las novelas de ficci n m s esperadas de 2018. Una historia fresca sobre el amor y contra las etiquetas en las relaciones. Tras recitar sus poemas en una velada literaria en Dubl n, Frances y Bobbi conocen a Melissa, una atractiva escritora que quiere publicar un reportaje sobre ellas. Estas dos universitarias que en el pasado fueron pareja se ver n atra das hacia ella y su marido Nick: un matrimonio acomodado que se acerca a la cuarentena y con el que terminar n formando un complejo m nage quatre. Ambientada en la bohemia art stica irlandesa, esta historia de amores libres y relaciones ambiguas ofrece un retrato honesto de una generaci n que rechaza las etiquetas impuestas. Entre presentaciones de libros, estrenos teatrales y vacaciones en la Breta a francesa, las conversaciones de los personajes convierten el debut de Sally Rooney en una novela de ideas marcada por unos di logos ocurrentes y un h bil sentido del humor. La autora indaga en las delicadas crueldades de la interacci n humana en una obra inteligente sobre la amistad, el deseo y los celos. Mientras sus personajes descubren el poder que tienen sobre los otros, Rooney articula una adictiva historia sobre el funcionamiento de la inocencia, el impacto de la infidelidad y el espejismo del libre albedr o.
Conversaciones entre amigos ha situado a Rooney como una de las voces m s prometedoras de su generaci n. Una obra aguda y reveladora que es a la vez una novela de iniciaci n, una comedia sobre el amor y un alegato feminista.

Winner of the 2017 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year One of Vogue's 10 Best Books of 2017 ∙ Slate's 10 Favorite Books of the Year ∙ Elle.com's Best Books of the Year ∙ The Cut's Best Books by Women A sharply intelligent novel about friendship, lust, jealousy, and the unexpected complications of adulthood in the 21st century Frances is a cool-headed and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend and comrade-in-arms is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, Frances and Bobbi catch the eye of Melissa, a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into Melissa's world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband, Nick. However amusing and ironic Frances and Nick's flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy, and Frances's friendship with Bobbi begins to fracture. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally, terribly, with Bobbi. Desperate to reconcile her inner life to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances's intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment. Written with gem-like precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship.
