I thought the exact same thing, either that or the author really likes the name. Agree some similarities, both go to trinity college and the New York connection but I didn’t think Marianne in Conversations with Friends behaves much like our Marianne from NP, can’t imagine her getting a pic taken with celebs or doing a puppet impression with a pair of gloves!

I have the same question! It seems too coincidental to have a character with the same name in an author's first two books that share lots of other similarities, but also not sure that there's a defining piece of evidence to link the two Mariannes.
China
Omg! I have the same question! And also it says that she has been to Brooklyn!!

They are just like most everyone in the novel, non-dimensional. Why? That is the question.
