This isn’t my usual kind of read, and I don’t remember how it originally ended up on my TBR, but I’m glad that I read it. I’m not sure how much I can say about it without spoilers as gradually getting to know Eleanor (a social awkward loner who repeatedly assures us that her life is fine) and seeing her personal development is the whole point of the story. Someone with so little self-awareness and understanding of the real world (to say nothing of other issues) might not actually be able to live as independently as Eleanor does, but if you can suspend disbelief a little her struggles, tragedies, and triumphs provide a moving tale of humor, heartbreak, and hope.

I found this book via a Twitter thread where someone was wanting for books that were coming-of-age, but for an adult rather than a teenager. I knew I would love this book immediately after reading the description and then the preview. Eleanor reminded me of myself in a way (which I suppose isn’t good, but never mind that) so I was excited to read this story about someone I could relate to.

It was a million times better than I imagined it would be! And the sudden twist at the end was spectacular. Honeyman did a marvelous job. I especially enjoyed the way Eleanor would make small comments throughout the book eluding to her difficult past, which let you come up with your own conclusions, but not really tell you exactly what happened. It leaves you wanting more with each chapter up until an extremely satisfying ending.

I’d recommend this to anyone who finds themselves struggling to understand others, or those of us struggling with anxiety/depression in any capacity. Everyone else, too, really. Such an amazing book. I will definitely have to read it again sometime with the new perspective and understanding I now have after finishing it!

The used book I received was in like-new condition although I think it was listed as a lower level condition. Also I ordered Large Print and that’s what I got. Double Thanks!!!! Really exceeded my expectations.

The story started out a little slow but after we get to know Eleanor the emotional rollercoaster hits hard! Just when you think you have her figured out she throws in another twist

Gail Honeyman’s charming, quirky, and resilient Eleanor Oliphant might just be one of my favorite characters I’ve met in a long time. Eleanor’s transformation from the woman she was in the beginning to the stronger, improved version of herself in the end was incredibly sad to read but also uplifting and inspiring at the same time.

“I do exist, don’t I? It often feels as if I’m not here, that I’m a figment of my own imagination. There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock.”

Eleanor Oliphant is painfully socially inept and completely not attuned to social decencies, an outcome of her horrendous childhood. She spends her weekdays working in the finance department of a graphic design company and avoiding her judgmental co-workers and her weekends drinking the liter or two of vodka she purchases from her local convenience store. Her life is regimented, structured, and very, very boring. The monotony of her life interrupted when she and the new IT guy, Raymond, help an elderly man who passed out on the sidewalk after work. These chain of events and a little bit of fate take Eleanor on an emotional journey she wasn’t planning on taking but one she has needed for a very long time.

“My phone doesn’t ring often–it makes me jump when it does–and it’s usually people asking if I’ve been missold Payment Protection Insurance. I whisper I know where you live to them, and hang up the phone very, very gentle.

When I started this book, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Eleanor. She is blunt and judgmental. What comes out of her mouth is often unintentionally funny because she is just so emotionally and socially stunted. I laughed out loud quite a bit even though Eleanor wasn’t making jokes. Like, the time she went to get a bikini wax and the esthetician asked her if she wanted a Tiffani, Brazilian, or a Hollywood wax. Eleanor said, “Holly would, and so would Eleanor.” There is a naïveté and innocence to her character that is completely endearing and charming, though there were moments Honeyman was asking the reader to suspend disbelief a little too far. When I finished the novel, I realized that I came to love Eleanor along the way, all the crooked and unique parts of her character.

A philosophical question: if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? And if a woman who’s wholly alone occasionally talks to a pot plant, is she certifiable? I think that it is perfectly normal to talk to oneself occasionally. It’s not as though I’m expecting a reply. I’m fully aware that Polly is a houseplant.

This book reminded me so much of an off-the-wall indie movie, complete with quirky characters and a great friendship storyline. I reach a point about a third of the way where I just loved where Honeyman was taking the story.

The cast of characters in this novel was what made it that much more enjoyable. We meet Raymond, the new guy at work, who Eleanor describes as an unattractive overweight man who smokes and walks on the balls of his feet. What he lacks in conventional beauty, he makes up for in heart. He’s such a good guy who loves his mom and over time, comes to really care about Eleanor. Sammy, the older gentleman Eleanor and Raymond help, is vivacious, sprite, and so great!

“These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.”

But the highlight of the novel was seeing Eleanor blossom and start to deal with her own pain. Despite the title, Eleanor Oliphant wasn’t completely fine but she will be. Uplifting and hopeful, this novel is one I will come back to, just so I can spend time with Eleanor just a little bit longer.

Audiobook Comments:
After reading this book, I picked it right back up again on audiobook. The audiobook is really great and I really loved the narrator’s Eleanor. Her dry, deadpan delivery was absolutely perfect! Highly recommended!

      I really enjoyed it. Eleanors personality was, well lets say she reminds me of Sheldon off of The Big Bang Theory TV show
      Was expecting one of the things in the end, not the other. Great narrative by Cathleen McCarron
