Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive – but not how to live

Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend.

Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything.

One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted – while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she’s avoided all her life.

Change can be good. Change can be bad. But surely any change is better than… fine?

‘Heartwrenching and wonderful’ Nina Stibbe

‘Deft, compassionate and moving’ Paula McLain

‘I adored it. Skilled, perceptive, Eleanor's world will feel familiar to you from the very first page. An outstanding debut!’ Joanna Cannon

I’ll miss Eleanor

This book is one of the books that you’ll carry with you for a long time. It’s funny, dark, sad and heartwarming. The characters are incredible and the voiceover is perfect. I’m now waiting not so patiently for Gail to write her next book!

Brilliant book brilliant narrator

Loved the book. With delicate writing, sensitive but not sentimental, the author draws the reader into the book and forces one to look at the world from the perspective of an emotionally scarred woman with neither social skills nor the ability to recognise kindness in others. Witty, hopeful, sad. A really worthwhile read.

Unexpected. Must read!

I was so surprised by this novel. You really see the main character blossoming. I loved every bit of it. Highly recommend.

Life is difficult

Fascinating story. Very well written and read. Good ending. A Little slow to start with.

excellent and refreshing

Funny , sad, touching, this book brings you through a journey of emotions. You can't help getting attached to the characters. Food for thought given the current pandemic and lockdowns on themes such as loneliness and the importance of human contact/friendship and perseverance.
