Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine - By Gail Honeyman

This novel is a narratively satisfying piece of work that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
A tale, that dwells around the essence of loneliness, beautifully portrays how little acts of kindness can catalyze significant change in a person’s life.
What is extremely engaging about this novel is how the author uses humor to highlight the deeper issues pertaining to the prevailing social stigmas. Humor, that is so subtle yet clever, makes you laugh even in the oddest hour of the day.

The protagonist of the novel, Eleanor Oliphant, with a name peculiar as it is, has even more of peculiar character. Her love for words is evident through the story, thereby making you visit the dictionary more than once. Her prudence on everyday things transpires the general trivia, that may add on a perspective onto our minds. But there is more than this to our Eleanor, which you will find out soon, something that has molded her into a being bound to stringent convictions. As the story unfolds, you will witness how emotions play a crucial part in our life and how, by not letting them out, we make the gravest mistake of all.
Embrace yourself to experience a range of emotions that is relatable and unequivocally heart warming.
This book would serve as a perfect go to if you are in a mood to get a fresh perspective on life.
