How do you know it's true love?

A pair of classmates - the despised Marianne and the popular Connell - are united by more than meets the eye. Although they do not speak publicly at school or outside, they have a love affair. And it does not rise and fall only with sex, because in spite of all the opposites they have found soul mates. But Connell is ashamed of the relationship and does not want it to be known. But even before his possible disclosure, the couple breaks up. A year later, they meet again at the University of Dublin - and while he finds it difficult to find a place among intellectuals due to his working-class background, she has meanwhile become the queen of parties. Although they now move in different circles, they are still attracted and continue to face inner rages. What can they do for each other to save him?

The world bestseller, which has sold over a million copies, received the Costa prize for the best English-language novel of 2018. It also made it to the shortlist for the Booker Prize.
