Abnormality

Jende normala | Egilea: Sally Rooney | Itzultzailea: Irene Aldasoro | Alberdania, 2020

He's taken me a book of just over 300 pages and he's given me a bit of a bit of sand. Lately I'm short of time and I'm lazy to have a long book that I don't know if I'm going to like it. However, it has an attractive skin, it has eye-catching colors and it seems that the book is calling me.

I've started reading the book and I've been quickly caught up with the prejudices. Can it be for the youngest? Am I going to read the school book? I have already read this story... These kinds of thoughts have taken my brain, and I'm convinced that some of you can also pass. However, I have had two sentences enough to read the book, to eat.

The book tells us the period between January 2011 and February 2015. Between the two dates we will notice great jumps of time and with the passage of time we will see the life changes of the protagonists. Marianne and Conell are the characters who fill them up. Let's see growth. We will remember how we grew and we will grow with them. As a reader, something special happened to me: when I got to the last pages, I forgot that at the beginning of the book they were in high school. I mean, the book, the characters, have taken me. They have brought me to the present. What has happened to me as a reader has hindered the critic: the passages that tell us to express the passage of time are appropriate.

Marianne, Conell and everyone else are very normal people. They do everyday things: wake up, shower, warm up coffee, hide, go to school or college, drink, be with friends, get angry... But as the book progresses we will see the anomalies of each one: doubts, communication difficulties, lack of courage in decision-making, fears and personal embarrassment. This abnormality makes the characters real and fleshly. It is clear that they have a broad and deep inner world.

It's a story of abnormal people living normally. To this thread we are told countless sub-themes that, although not important in the development of the plot, give it a load. It's violent, hard, deep, but written fluently, affection and affection, from the mouths of the characters who want to be adults and normal. Like everyone, with the hand of children and abnormal.

Excellent contribution to the Basque in the pen of Irene Aldasoro.
