By the Book: Book Club July 2019 - Normal People

This month we turn our attention to Normal People, the much-feted, much-discussed second novel by Sally Rooney, which explores intense love, social isolation, and ideas of masculinity and fragility. BFM's Dhanya Nair joins us for this journey. And then after that, we catch up on some correspondence about American novels and novelists.
