I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader.  A great read. Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She is set in her ways. It's a bittersweet story, of Eleanor not fitting in, or understanding social skills, loneliness and the power of kindness. Love love loved her. A great read.
