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

Beautifully read by Cathleen McCarron, moving story with a simple message: kindness can go a long way.

Prachtig boek, zoveel geglimlacht. Ik vind het taalgebruik prachtig. Alle onbewuste sociale onhandigheden van Eleanor, she grows on you. Mooie onderliggende, maatschappelijke boodschap in het verhaal van haar ontdekkingstocht naar zichzelf. Einde vond ik te abrupt, bijna gemeen niet te weten hoe het verder gaat als je zo mee leeft met de hoofdpersonen. Wie weet een deel 2. Fijn boek en super leuke voorleesstem

Elenor Oliphant’ story is one of survival. It’s not a heavy depressive story though. It made me laugh lots and a times made my eyes well up. The best book I have listened to in a long time.

It's an easy read, but has enough substance to remain interesting until the last page. It's quite a moving story. Perhaps a bit predictable, but that's ok. The narrator's voice is very pleasant.

Wauw. Heerlijk geschreven, meeslepend, ik kon het op een gegeven moment niet meer neerleggen. Perfecte balans van kwetsbaarheid en droge humor. Echt een aanrader.
