This work, which her press release states concerns ‘aesthetics and political crisis’, follows a similar vein to her previous novels in focusing on the everyday lives of ordinary people living in Ireland. The plot follows Alex, Felix, Eileen and Simon and their four intertwining lives, through love, work, relationships, and as they attempt to navigate the modern world which appears to be crashing around them. Rooney’s writing, known for its frank and open style, is epitomised in this narrative. The book received a series of awards upon publication, including the Irish Book Award and the Goodreads Choice Award in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003c\/strong\u003e900136\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fold the Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56990709252420,"sku":"900136","price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/8711\/0212\/files\/900136.jpg?v=1784202964","url":"https:\/\/foldthecornerbooks.co.uk\/products\/beautiful-world-where-are-you-900136","provider":"Fold the Corner Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
