Some friendships stretch across years, carrying all the things left unsaid.
In Beautiful World, Where Are You, Alice, a successful novelist, meets Felix, a warehouse worker, and invites him into her life. Meanwhile, her closest friend Eileen drifts between a painful breakup and an unresolved connection with Simon, someone who’s been part of her world forever.
As these four navigate desire, loneliness, work, and what it means to truly matter to one another, they ask themselves whether it’s still possible to believe in beauty and real connection in a world that feels increasingly fragile. Sally Rooney’s tender, searching novel is full of ache and warmth. An intimate portrait of friendships, intimacy, and all the ways we grow together.
