The Sunday Times bestseller

Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon

Eleanor Oliphant 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 – while 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?

读后感

看了很多评论，并且跟身边同样看过这本书（大部分是美国人，提出这一点是因为我在思考是不是有文化差异）的朋友讨论过后，我发现了一个令我惊讶并且有点难以理解的事实：原来大部分人都觉得Eleanor是一个很不讨人喜欢的人，即便是在阅读的过程里，她们也会觉得这个角色本身虽然...  

看完之后有一种看国产偶像剧的感觉，原生家庭异常糟糕的女生，生命中突然闯进一位陌生男人，接着开始了自己的救赎之路。逐渐摆脱之前生理和心理上的问题，回归正常生活，找到新的目标，生的希望，一切回归正轨。 最喜欢的是对于生活细节的描写，让我非常有代入感，一个独居女性...

Why Gail Honeyman's debut 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' has become so raved is not entirely unfathomable. I remember another fictional character - a grumpy suicidal old bastard named Ove who, in so many ways, resembles our protagonist here, being em...  

连续读了几本国外的畅销书，好像已经对矫揉造作的故事失去了所有的兴趣。 开篇总是故意撒下谜团，最后的结局总是草率地揭露背后浅显的原因。笔墨总是浪费，除了对话让人看了不至于睡觉，大篇幅无聊的内心独白，景物描写像食之无味的KFC快餐。 女主三十岁，其命运看起来颇为凄惨...  

用户评价

已经成为最爱之一。开始以为就是讲孤独者的，后来发现在很多其他方面都很有共鸣，于是哭哭笑笑的看完并觉得这本书给了我一丝希望。

小说里的人物如果要得到读者的共鸣其实很难也要挑人 我并不觉得整个故事发展是童话的 Eleanor是有付出有努力的 有没有Raymond她都会fine (or I wished so for her) I card so much for her 她最后找到了真正的自己我很为她开心

这两周读完的一本 better than expectation!!上周Richard在我桌子上看到这本书问我是什么,我说大概就是a child was removed from her mother's care and their toxic and mysterial past..然后Richard忍不住说Isn't the work enough???why read heavy books like that!!!我:没有很heavy啦.. 后来看到Bad days那一part才觉得应该收回自己的话哈哈哈 anyways真的是一本很好看的小说

太套路的好莱坞叙事

Goodbye Mummy!
