Eleanor has always gone with the flow happily following the guidance of those around, including her mother, her older sister, her husband, etc.
After her mother’s death and quitting her phd program she finds herself less than happy with where she is but seems to have no motivation to make changes.
Here and there we also get perks at her parents’ past and how it’s influenced her present.
This one fell a little flat for me. Even with Eleanor being the narrator I don’t feel like I got to really hear what she was thinking or feeling. Maybe this was intentional to highlight her personal disconnect. Not for me but maybe for you.
