Is Eleanor completely fine? But who is?
It look me a while to get into this one, but then about 2/3 of the way through I became hooked and couldn't put it down. Eleanor has faced extreme hardship and despite life seemingly telling to stop, she keeps existing and this resilience is what's so inspiring about Honeyman's character. She's frustrating and you will dislike her, but then you will not only root for her, but fall in love with her and the people she cares about. I don't know how to further explain it, but Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is simultaneously a simple story, and a very complex one.
