Her meticulously constructed life keeps the world at bay, a shield against past traumas she can barely remember. She’s completely fine, thank you very much. Or so she tells herself.
But when Eleanor, along with the office IT guy, Raymond, helps an elderly man who has fallen, a small crack appears in her carefully curated solitude. This unexpected connection, forged in an act of kindness, slowly begins to dismantle Eleanor's walls, prompting her to confront her painful past and discover the true meaning of friendship, love, and human connection. What follows is a journey of self-discovery, filled with moments that are both profoundly funny and deeply moving.
Honeyman masterfully crafts a character who is initially frustrating but quickly becomes utterly endearing.
