Conversations With Friends has sold just under 78,000 in hardcover and paperback since 2017. For a while there, Normal People was the only book that people who talk about books seemed willing to talk about.Īccording to the industry tracker NPD Bookscan, Normal People has sold just under 64,000 units in hardcover in the US in the four months it’s been out, not including e-books. Normal People sucked all the air out of the room when it came out in the US in April, building on the success of Rooney’s much-buzzed-about 2017 debut, Conversations With Friends. “I can’t put it down,” said the woman next to me. As is usually the case at such events, everyone was talking about one particular book, the hot book of the moment, the one no one could stop thinking about - but for once, at this lunch full of people who have devoted their careers to making books for children, the title everyone was talking about wasn’t a children’s book. Earlier this summer, I attended a lunch for people who work with children’s books.
