Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Gail Honeyman. 2017. 522 Pages. (Ebook on Libby. 11 Hours, 25 minutes).

I am not sure what to think of this Scot’s dystopian novel. It is very well written and engaging. The narrator is a mentally ill insecure office worker with a very tragic background, who gets drunk frequently and imagines a life with a rising star singer who is himself a rogue. I won’t give away more of the plot except to reveal that she gets some counselling and towards the end finds some happiness and acceptance of her tragic past.

3/5

Thanks, Valerie H.
