"Normal People" has the heat, tenderness, and satisfaction of a great romance novel, and then some. This is a book that believes in soul mates but rejects fantasy, embracing the conventions of the romance genre while transcending them with Sally Rooney's much-praised literary eloquence and keen social perceptions. Come for the Man Booker hype, stay for all the irony, intensity, and all-consuming ambiguity of young millennial love.
