Books-A-Million Announces Latest President’s Pick: Sally Rooney’s Beautiful World, Where Are You

The new novel by acclaimed Irish novelist Sally Rooney captivates readers with vividly drawn characters and the relatable challenges of life, love, and purpose.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Books-A-Million has just announced its latest President’s Pick! Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney is a compelling novel that delves into the complex lives of four young adults navigating the ups and downs of love, sex, aspirations, and life itself.

“There comes a time in youth when the realities of life begin creeping up from behind,” said Terrance G. Finley of his latest book pick. “For Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon, that means seeking answers about love, friendship, and the challenging world beyond. Rooney’s keen observations and rich descriptions fill the pages with complex characters and a story that leaves you ultimately satisfied in the way only an exceptional writer can.”

Rooney’s distinctive writing style reflects her own voice; she has been described as having “invented a sensibility entirely of her own: sunny and sharp, free of artifice but overflowing with wisdom and intensity” (Vogue). These qualities are on display in Beautiful World, Where Are You, which is engaging and eloquently written, with events and exchanges grounded in the author’s vividly constructed world.

Rooney’s previous two novels have both earned high praise from readers and critics alike. Normal People was adapted into an Emmy-nominated Hulu Original Series, while Conversations with Friends shines as an unconventional and witty tale of friendship and adultery.

Beautiful World, Where Are You is scheduled for release on September 7, 2021. You can pre-order your copy now at Booksamillion.com.
