"Meet Eleanor Oliphant: she struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. That, combined with her unusual appearance (scarred cheek, tendency to wear the same clothes year in, year out), means that Eleanor has become a creature of habit (to say the least) and a bit of a loner ...

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding unnecessary human contact, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen, the three rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. Ultimately, it is Raymond's big heart that will help Eleanor find the way to repairing her own profoundly damaged one. And if she does, she'll learn that she, too, is capable of finding friendship—and even love—after all. Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes the only way to survive is to open your heart.

Eleanorille kuuluu ihan hyvää

Eleanor Oliphant est un peu spéciale. Dotée d'une culture générale supérieure à la moyenne, peu soucieuse des bonnes manières et du vernis social, elle dit les choses telles qu'elle les pense, sans fard, sans ambages. Fidèle à sa devise " Mieux vaut être seule que mal accompagnée ", Eleanor évite ses semblables et préfère passer ses samedis soir en compagnie d'une bouteille de vodka. Rien ne manque à sa vie minutieusement réglée et rythmée par ses conversations téléphoniques hebdomadaires avec " maman ". Mais tout change le jour où elle s'éprend du chanteur d'un groupe de rock à la mode. Décidée à conquérir de l'objet de son désir, Eleanor se lance dans un véritable marathon de transformations. Sur son chemin, elle croise aussi Raymond, un collègue qui sous des airs négligés, va lui faire repousser ses limites. Car en naviguant sur les eaux tumultueuses de son obsession amoureuse et de sa relation à distance avec " maman ", Eleanor découvre que, parfois, même une entité autosuffisante a besoin d'un ami...

Livro de estreia da escocesa Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant está muito bem foi revelado através de um concurso literário e, desde então, vem conquistando excelentes críticas e uma bela carreira internacional. Aos 30 anos, Eleanor Oliphant trabalha na área administrativa de uma empresa de design e leva uma vida solitária, mas feliz. Apesar de ser alvo de bullying no ambiente de trabalho por sua aparência e hábitos peculiares, ela não sente falta de nada e parece perfeitamente à vontade com sua falta de habilidades sociais. Mas tudo muda quando ela conhece Raymond, novo funcionário da área de TI da empresa, e os dois, por acaso, salvam a vida de um senhor que desmaia no meio da rua. Com sensibilidade e muito bom humor, a autora conta a história de uma amizade que muda para sempre a vida de três pessoas muito diferentes, que descobrem que a melhor maneira de sobreviver é abrindo o coração.

Eleanor Oliphant Está Muito Bem

Ona je Eleanor Oliphant: tridesetogodišnjakinja u raskoraku s društvenim normama, uredska čudakinja, usamljenica, sklona izgovoriti upravo ono što misli, idealna meta ogovaranja među kolegama. Eleanor Oliphant vodi jednostavan život. Svaki dan na posao nosi istu odjeću, za ručak jede isti obrok, na istom mjestu, rješavajući križaljku. Ništa ne nedostaje njezinu pomno organiziranom životu izbjegavanja društvenih interakcija, gdje vikende obilježavaju smrznuta pizza, votka i telefonski razgovori s mamicom. S Eleanor Oliphant je sve u najboljem redu. Jedno obično dobro djelo srušit će zidove koje je Eleanor podignula oko sebe. Morat će naučiti kako navigirati svijetom koji svi ostali, čini se, uzimaju zdravo za gotovo - dok traži hrabrost da se suoči s mračnim zakucima koje je cijeli život zaobilazila.

S Eleanor Oliphant je sve u najboljem redu
