Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman, 2017

Such an original book & enjoyable book.  Funny, touching & warm.  Eleanor Oliphant is literally & figuratively a character.

She accidentally & reluctantly develops a friendship with a co-worker who brings her out of her routine and obsession with a local musician.

Filled with wry observations about what are considered 'normal' behaviors, Eleanor's point of view is truly unique.

Read this during my Italian vacation & was as much a treat as all the delicious pasta, charcuterie & fresh vegetables I feasted on.
