Itty Bitty Book Review: "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine"

 "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" by Gail Honeyman


This seems to be her first and only novel. It was very successful in terms of money apparently and short-listed for the Lucy Cavendish  College Fiction Prize.  It was this month's choice for my "Young Bookclub". I really liked it and it certainly was very polished in terms of writing. It primarily revolves around the main character "Eleanor" who is lonely and has experienced a great trauma. It would be a very sad tale but Eleanor is very amusing and her reflections on many aspects of society are spot on.
