We learn all about Eliza Peabody from the unsolicited notes and letters she writes to her suburban neighbours. She just doesn't fit in and becomes increasingly isolated as people avoid her and she loses track between reality and fantasy. She's eccentric, funny and sad and initially rather irritating but as the narrative unfolds and she comes to an understanding of herself, I found myself warming to her more and more. A writer who never disappoints.
