The first hundred pages or so were difficult to plod through but once I did, I was glad to have done so. Eleanor is a tribute and testament to how those of us who have survived traumatic experiences adapt and evolve in order to go through the rigors of daily life. A book that reminds us that we should always be kind to others, for we don’t know what they’re going through, Eleanor Oliphant truly is completely fine.
