Review: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine


Publisher: Harper Collins


This book is brilliant. My colleague read the back and said, ‘so basically this is Bridget Jones’. Oh how very very wrong.

Imagine Bridget but a version of it that’s got grit and balls and takes you to places about mental health, social care and beyond that you never thought it would go.

 

This book is full of so much love and compassion. Raymond is a glorious and beautiful creation but then again so is Eleanor. The book is obviously covering topics that the author deeply cares about and that is apparent the whole way through. The language is carefully selected and the progress of EO from who she is at the start of the book to who she is at the end is brilliantly crafted.

 

Definitely a book that all should read and the accolades, attention and awards enjoyed by the author and the team behind this book are much deserved.

 

Brilliant
