Recensioner

It was a really good book - I started reading it in the evening and I couldn't stop until I finished it late at night :) Eleanor seems very boring and predictable in the beginning, but in reality is so complicated and deeply suffering person, and her way of dealing with the world is quite unique. I loved the book, it made me both laugh and cry, it was one of the best books I've recently read.

What an interesting, humorous, and very real character Eleanor Oliphant is, despite that she is unlike anyone I ever met. She is odd, secretive, anti-social, OCD, and seemingly humorless at the office she has worked at for a number of years, where we first meet her. She is a hard worker all week, but every Friday she leaves the office, stops at a local store to pick up pizza and two bottles of vodka, which she proceeds to drink over the weekend, and she speaks to nobody until Monday morning. It turns out that there are numerous reasons for Ms. Oliphant's isolation, which are peeled away over the course of the novel. I understand this is Ms. Honeyman's debut novel, and I look forward to reading more of her writing in the future.… (mer)

I loved this book! Eleanor is such an odd character, but you can't help rooting for her even before you find out about her past. I hated for her story to end. I'd like to know how the rest of her life turned out.

Just like Eleanor this book is a little prickly and hard to love at first but eventually it opens up and turns into something lovely.
