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 worry about sex and friendship and the times they live in. Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?
Review
Magnificent . . . Rooney is the best young novelist - indeed one of the best novelists - I've read in years. -- Olivia Laing
A tour de force. The dialogue never falters, and the prose burns up the page. -- Anne Enright ― Guardian
Rooney's strongest writing thus far . . . There is a touching honesty and truthfulness in these pages, along with a quiet brilliance. -- Diana Evans ― Financial Times
Rooney is in a class of her own. ― Grazia
Written with immense skill and illuminated by an endlessly incisive intelligence. ― Irish Times
The book moved me to tears more than once . . . Rooney's best novel. -- James Marriott ― The Times
Brilliantly done: gripping, steamy, unbearably sad. ― Telegraph
Excellent . . . There is so much to talk about. ― Sunday Independent
Beautiful World, Where Are You is not just worth reading. It's worth thinking about. ― Irish Independent
