âBeautiful World, Where Are You is Rooneyâs best novel yet. Funny and smart, full of sex and love and people doing their best to connect.â âThe New York Times
Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if heâd 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.Â
Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are still youngâbut life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they worry about sex and friendship 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?
