Getting to know Eleanor Oliphant is a bit tough; I wasn't sure whether I would like her or not. She is 30 years old and works in the financial office at a small design company. Her strong opinions, unappealing clothing, and a large scar on her face are off-putting to some, and she feels friendless and unliked. As the story develops, her first-person narration is precious: her dry, factual manner of dealing with life is quite pithy. When she decides to set her sights on a local musician whom she's never met, everything changes. When she's also compelled to interact with Raymond, the IT guy at her company, her horizons expand. But what is the secret in her past that she has been hiding?
This book has been on my radar for a long time. I was not disappointed.
