Long listed for the
Women’s Prize for Fiction 2018. 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.
