À propos de cet audio
A sharply intelligent novel about friendship, lust, jealousy, and the unexpected complications of adulthood in the 21st century
Frances is a cool-headed and darkly observant young woman vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend and comrade-in-arms is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, Frances and Bobbi catch the eye of Melissa, a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into Melissa's world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband, Nick. However amusing and ironic Frances and Nick's flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy, and Frances' friendship with Bobbi begins to fracture. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally, terribly, with Bobbi.
Desperate to reconcile her inner life to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances' intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment.
Written with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth and the messy edges of female friendship.

Who says you can't run away from your problems? You are a failed novelist about to turn 50. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: Your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes—it would be too awkward—and you can't say no—it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world. Question: How do you arrange to skip town? Answer: You accept them all. What would possibly go wrong?

Histoire4 out of 5 stars 32
On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses - until things become much more serious. Most of the island's inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten. When a young woman who is struggling to maintain her career as a novelist discovers that her editor is in danger from the Memory Police, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards.

In this dual collection of short stories, Alexander McCall Smith brings his trademark humor and warmth to inventive tales of spying and vengeance. In one story, a spy dropped deep into enemy territory manages to disguise himself—quite convincingly—as a nun. In another, an invitation to join the Vatican Secret Service sends a prospective operative down a rabbit hole of controversy and confusion. A third story finds an author, on the brink of public ruin, seeing the error of his ways after an act of kindness saves the day.

With a wealth of never-before-accessed materials, Heather Clark brings to life the brilliant Sylvia Plath, who had precocious poetic ambition and was an accomplished published writer even before she became a star at Smith College. Refusing to read Plath’s work as if her every act was a harbinger of her tragic fate, Clark considers the sociopolitical context as she thoroughly explores Plath’s world.

Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to her Southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see - confident, beautiful, indifferent. Not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby's murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she'd been closest to since freshman year.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization.

Brilliant author, loved this book!
This book is brilliant! I found all the characters intriguing and enjoyed the conversations they had with each other. Can listen to this book over and over again! Everything about this book is amazing, how the author writes about depression, endometriosis & family dynamics. I really felt for these characters as they travel through life trying to be true to themselves. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

It was fine.
This my 3rd of Sally Rooneys books, and my least favourite so far. The story was okay. It was an interesting and relatable (for me) look at different kinds of relationships. But there really wasn't much to the story. It's more just a snapshot in time, showcasing how the relationships between a group of people morph.
it was fine, it was okay, it was a decent light listen. I would recommend it if this is what you're looking for.

Incredible Debut Novel
I should have read her books in the order she wrote them, I feel I would have enjoyed this more if I had read it first. The dialogue is so real, so observed, and the ending so unexpected.
Really enjoyed this novel.

Great writing, enjoyed reading it
Loved the writing from Rooney, she is gifted, makes the read so easy, it is very descriptive however the topic made me very uncomfortable, the story felt quite dark to me but even though I don't see eye to eye on a lot of topics or how the characters live their lives, the writing was exceptional. This is a provoking story and read.

I don't enjoy characters who major in English
I heard about this author on the podcast The Cut. Sally Rooney was being celebrated as a young literary genius.
I agree she is talented in writing. There is so much sexual tension in everything in the book, as she had intended.
I was disappointed in the story, unfortunately. In the podcast, I was lead to expect more 'conversations with friends' about psychology, politics, sociology, etc. The book mostly focuses on the main character's struggle with her body and endometriosis (which pales in comparison to other themes), her sexual relationships, and her snobbish sense of entitlement. The book was hard to finish because I was mislead and disappointed.
She's a 'poet', but there is no poetry.
We never hear about her father - whose story, at some points, was more interesting - after the suicidal phone call and her mother confirming he's alive.
Rooney does have a knack of writing and describing the character's feelings. I was just expecting more controversial themes.
