30-year-old Eleanor Oliphant is a bit of an oddball. She has held on to the same job for the past 9 years, the one she’d landed right after college. She spends her non-working hours cooped in her small apartment, choosing as little social interaction as possible. The only change in her routine is her choice of evening meals and drinks over the weekdays and weekends. She feels this is all normal and believes herself to be ‘completely fine’. Is she though? That’s a question only a reading of this book can answer.
