Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (2017)
EN HC NWISBN: 9780008172114 bzw. 0008172110, in Englisch, HarperCollins Publishers, gebundenes Buch, neu.
Shortlisted for the 2017 Costa Book Awards First Novel Award
When people ask me what I do – taxi drivers, dental hygienists – I tell them I work in an office. In almost nine years, no one’s ever asked what kind of office, or what sort of job I do there. I can’t decide whether that’s because I fit perfectly with their idea of what an office worker looks like, or whether people hear the phrase work in an office and automatically fill in the blanks themselves – lady doing photocopying, man tapping at keyboard.
Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive - but not how to live
She 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 - whilst 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?Widely tipped as the fiction debut of 2017, this is a contented but broken life, played in full.

“A truly original literary creation: funny, touching and unpredictable. Her journey out of the shadows is expertly woven and absolutely gripping.” - Jojo Moyes
“Heartwrenching and wonderful.” - Nina Stibbe
“Heartbreaking.” - Bryony Gordon
“A truly original voice and so good on loneliness: I sobbed and sobbed.” - Cathy Rentzenbrink
“What a joy it is… characters aren’t goodies, baddies or plot devices, they just feel like people… the overwhelming emotion is kindness. If you don’t cry the first time Eleanor goes to a hair salon and thanks the blowsy Laura for “making her shiny”, you haven’t a heart.” – Jenny Colgan, The Guardian.
