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

Totally Original and Enthralling.
Sad, funny, original with characters that haunt you long after the end of the book. The reader was also superbly understated allowing the book to flow beautifully. Will listen and read this again soon.

Enjoyable characters
A nice listen with good characters and an interesting storyline - you kind of figure out where it is going pretty early on but still enjoyable - could imagine it as a TV series actually.

The narrator brought all characters to life
Eleanor Olyphant is a wonderfully well thought out character, and all characters were written beautifully to interact with Eleanor so we can understand what we need to about her.
While some may find this book slow and drawn out, I found it to be well paced, dropping bread crumbs to propel me forward. I usually only listen to books/podcasts etc on my hour long trip to work & back, but I listened to this at home several evenings because I was so invested in Eleanor.
I think anyone who feels an outcast, has childhood trauma, or has felt loneliness will relate to this book & enjoy even the sad themes.
I think I learned a little about myself reading this.
The narrator is superb & I didn't want to smash my headphones to the ground when she affected a man's voice, like some I hear. I'd listen to her read a statistics text book.

Wow!
I listened to this based solely on reading so many rave reviews. I’m an avid reader over decades and this has shot up into my top five of favourite novels. This is going to resonate with me for a long time to come.
Deeply moving yet genuinely humorous. Eleanor Oliphant is a magical character. I initially cringed at her blunt reactions to events but was quickly captured.
I’m in awe of this writer’s talent and the reader did justice to her words.

Great story, well worth it
Starts slightly slowly but gets momentum after an hour or so. Great character development, very unique story, quite funny and an excellent ending.

Touching story and amazing narrating effort
It was one of the greatest story as well as audible book I have been encountered. The storyline was intriguing, common life events yet portrayed interestingly through the mind of a frugal single young lady. The sarcasm and satire are woven through seamlessly for good laughs.
