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

Reviews of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

Absolutely worth every single one of those stars. Fantastic!

Bryony

Best book I've ever ‘read’. Heart-wrenching and heartwarming.

Rebecca

Lovely book.

Jo

What a moving, funny, sad, witty book. A commentary on life, loneliness, the horror of abuse, the warmth and restorative powers of friendship. I've wanted to read this for a long time but decided to listen instead. It's only my second audio book, and the narration was fantastic, really bringing to life the book and its characters. Loved it!
