Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

Gail Honeyman · 2017

A fiercely routined loner says exactly what she thinks, until an act of kindness starts unpicking a life built to keep everyone out.

Eleanor Oliphant has a job, a routine, and a life arranged so precisely that no one gets close to it. She says exactly what she thinks, eats the same lunch, and spends every weekend alone with vodka and a phone call from Mummy. Then a chance act of kindness involving a colleague and an elderly stranger begins to unpick the whole arrangement. Honeyman’s debut is funny and quietly devastating about loneliness and the damage people carry.
