Anne's Pick of the Month
Normal People
by Sally Rooney
$17.00
Connell and Marianne grew up in the same small
town, but the similarities end there. At school, Connell
is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner.
But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life changing begins.
A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.
Normal People is the story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t.

I just want to assure all of you that curbside pick-up continues (see details below for how it works). It has been extremely successful so far and involves no face-to-face contact.
To make inquiries as to what we have in stock or to place orders, you can call us at 908-233-3535 between the hours of 11:00-3:00 Monday-Saturday to talk to a staff member personally. We are closed on Sundays. You can, of course, leave a message at any time or email me at anne@townbookstore.com with any of your requests and your phone number and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Our deliveries have been arriving within a few days with no shipping charges to our customers. Many people have been using us a destination for their daily walk!
We started curbside pick-up on March 15 and it seems to be working quite well with many satisfied customers!
