Description

A #1 New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is a smart, warm and uplifting novel about friendship, isolation and the importance of human connection.

No one has ever told Eleanor Oliphant that life should be better than fine.

Eleanor struggles with social skills and tends to say exactly what she is thinking. Her carefully timetabled life allows her to avoid most social interactions, while her weekends are spent with frozen pizza, vodka and phone conversations with Mummy.

Everything begins to change when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT employee from her office. When Eleanor and Raymond help Sammy, an elderly man who has fallen on the pavement, the three form an unexpected friendship. Together, they begin rescuing one another from the isolated lives they have been living.

With Raymond’s kindness and support, Eleanor gradually begins to confront her profoundly damaged heart and discover that surviving may require opening it to others.
