Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive – but not how to live

Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend.

Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything.

One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted – while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she’s avoided all her life.

Change can be good. Change can be bad. But surely any change is better than… fine?

I felt it to be a bit slow in the beginning. But not uninteresting, just felt too detailed. But as the book progressed, I throughly enjoyed the quirks of Eleanor and the necessity of the earlier details. Need to mention that the narrator did a great job.

Can't believe that this is a debut.

The author builds up the narrative beautifully but it is the narrator who has done a brilliant job bringing out Eleanor so naturally
