Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Gail Honeyman

Eleanor Oliphant is a socially awkward, routine-bound office worker in Glasgow who insists her carefully controlled life is perfectly fine, despite her isolation and weekly phone calls with a cold, manipulative mother. When a chance act of kindness toward an elderly stranger draws her into an unlikely friendship with a coworker, Eleanor's rigid defenses begin to crack, forcing her to confront painful truths about her past. It's a darkly funny, ultimately moving character study about loneliness, trauma, and the slow work of healing through human connection.
