Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine |
I was very interested in this story, told from Eleanor's perspective, and enjoyed that you were with her in the present despite the events that shaped her remaining a mystery until much later in the novel. She lives by routine and order but when seemingly minor events disrupt that routine, a more complicated person emerges. I felt empathetic for her, a socially awkward indivudal, portrayed through insights - with at times the author's subtle humour - into her response to everyday situation.
