"Eleanor Oliphant may be completely fine, but this book is completely wonderful." - PureWow "Move over, Ove (in Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove)-there's a new curmudgeon to love." - Booklist (starred review) The only way to survive is to open your heart. Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. And it is Raymond's big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.īut everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. No one's ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine. "Deft, compassionate and deeply moving-Honeyman's debut will have you rooting for Eleanor with every turning page." -Paula McClain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun Her journey out of dark shadows is absolutely gripping." -Jojo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You
"Eleanor Oliphant is a truly original literary creation: funny, touching, and unpredictable.
