The TV show, too, achieved breakout success, powered by two star-making performances and an intimacy that countered the isolation of early lockdown. Perhaps relatedly, the book is Rooney’s most commercially successful to date. Normal People’s protagonists fit this bill, but they also followed a familiar boy-meets-girl archetype, a straightforward vehicle for a complex pair of personalities. Rooney specializes in characters of blazing intellect and inscrutable emotions, even to themselves. This may be why the novel was the first of Sally Rooney’s to receive a screen adaptation, despite coming second on the Irish author’s CV. Though told with nuance and complexity, Normal People is, at its core, a simple story. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Using British, American and German research material Diana Preston answers many of the unsolved, controversial questions surrounding the "Lusitania": why didn't Cunard listen to warnings that the ship would be a target of the Germans? Was the "Lusitania" sacrificed to bring the Americans into the War? What was really in the ship's hold? Was the verdict of wilful murder, from the inquest held the day after the sinking, justified? And did the Kaiser's decision to cease unrestricted U-boat warfare in response to international outrage at the sinking effectively change the outcome of the First World War? Using first-hand accounts of the tragedy Diana Preston brings the characters to life, recreating the splendour of the Cunard luxury liner as it set sail from New York and the horror of her final moments. The first book to look at the events in their full historical context, it is also the first to place the human dimension at its heart. 'Wilful Murder' is the hugely compelling story of the sinking of the "Lusitania". The liner was the "Lusitania" and it was torpedoed by a German U-boat. On board were some world-famous figures, including multi-millionaire Alfred Vanderbilt. ![]() On May 7th, 1915 a passenger ship crossing the Atlantic sank with the loss of 1,200 lives. ![]() |
