‘Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine’ by Gail Honeyman
Category: Adult Fiction
It’s no surprise that this book is set to be a major film produced by Reese Witherspoon, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, will make you laugh, cry and feel like you’ve been punched in the stomach, all at the same time.
Smartly written, this book takes you on the weird and wonderful journey of Eleanor, a socially awkward, frankly unusual heroine whose literal take on life and deadpan wit often finds her trapped by her own loneliness, although she’d never admit it.
The slow and often painful introduction of bumbling co-worker Raymond into her life might just be the remedy she doesn’t even realise she needs. Heart-warming, heart lifting, heart wrenching – just fabulous.
