Acerca de esta escucha

"Aoife McMahon is a gem of a narrator, helping create the perfect atmosphere for Rooney’s story." -Book Riot

"McMahon's acting dexterity shows in seamless shifts between points of view, characters, and emotions. Male to female, white-collar to blue-collar, anger to passion - her crisp Irish accent makes these transitions with the lightness of a lark. Likewise, via McMahon, Rooney's peerless descriptions imprint upon the mind's eye. The listener won't soon forget a silk blouse caressed like a pet, freckled arms made pink by the sun, the coast of Ireland at nightfall, or the forgiveness of a best friend." -AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winning review

Beautiful World, Where Are You is a new novel by Sally Rooney, the bestselling author of Normal People and Conversations with Friends.

Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he’d like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend, Eileen, is getting over a break-up, and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.

Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon are still young—but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. They have sex, they worry about sex, they worry about their friendships and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

Editor's Pick

This spoke to my hardened pandemic heart
There is nothing like a dependable writer. Sorry, does that sound boring? It's not. Sally Rooney is that rare author whom I can absolutely, 100% trust to be bowl-me-over brilliant. Aoife McMahon, who has narrated Rooney's two other books, continues to be the listening linchpin, providing distinct voices for Rooney's conversation-rich stories without slipping into caricature. And in Beautiful World, Where Are You, Rooney brings us so much amazing conversation; her four main characters—all fully fleshed out—orbit around each other in various modes of longing, despair, and hope. They seem surprised that adulthood has grabbed them by the ankle and is hanging on, as they flail for both freedom and security in equal measure. Though the book's events predate the tragedy of COVID, the four's restlessness foreshadows lockdown, and the story ends amidst the emergence of the pandemic. Yet strangely, and without giving any spoilers, I will say that Beautiful World, Where Are You left me more settled than Rooney's other works. This novel is an ode to people asking for, and finding, what they need in life. And it may be that what we all need most right now is a little peace. And the certainty of a great listen. —Emily C., Audible Editor

Maybe I didn’t understand it but….

I couldn’t get in to this one. I finished it (because I’m no quitter) thinking the story would click together but it never did. Maybe it’s one of those you have to read the words to understand…..not sure. I might come back to it to listen again to make sure but…..eh.

Beautiful novel, it's here

I'll be recommending this to my very best friends. It's lovely. Kind, poignant, great story. The narrator is excellent.

Annoying characters

The two female protagonists were their own worst enemies and despite the talented narrator, the story was just plain boring.

Just wonderful

Ms. Rooney's work may not be for everyone but I found this novel to be thoroughly enjoyable, quite moving and extremely sharp and funny. The narration was perfectly suited to it and brought a great deal of insight, compassion and humor to the story and its characters.

Enjoyed very much

The narrator’s voice is very nice on the ears. Felix stands out as the most honest, smart and interesting character. Beautifully written sexual “scenes”.

Elaborate melancholy

I loved how Sally Rooney describes soft sex. I wasn't into novels but I'm addicted to her style now❤

Is it possible to over invest yourself in your characters?

This outing has Rooney clearly more self-conscious about past success. Her avatar lead character Alice seeks to get away from it by holing-up in a house by the sea. An unlikely savior figure Felix helps her pry herself back open—at least a little, but just enough. This one, and these characters, however, will not stick with me the way her previous book has.

Nice but disappointing

Read this for my book club. Not much depth other than to touch on many “woke” topics and JUST a touch. Author is very descriptive, but sometimes too much. Reader’s Digest could condense this in a heartbeat. Maybe good for a summer read, but not much for discussion.

Unusual but worth reading

This book was a bit hard to connect to at the beginning and at times I wanted to stop listening to it. But I’m glad I finished it. It’s and unusual book which will make you think.

Couldn't get myself interested...

... in the lives of the protagonists. Nothing of consequence transpired as far as I'm concerned.
Listened to it because the author and the book got a great reception. Maybe it's better in written form, due to chats and emails.
