Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She wears the same clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every weekend.
Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything.
One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate the world that everyone else seems to take for granted – while searching for the courage to face the dark corners she’s avoided all her life.
Change can be good. Change can be bad. But surely any change is better than… fine?
An astonishing story that powerfully depicts the loneliness of life, and the simple power of a little kindness.

Condition: Acceptable
A book with minor, but obvious damage. Some damage to the cover including very, very minor scuff marks along the edges and a large but light stain at the top of the front cover, but no holes or tears. The majority of pages are undamaged with no creasing or tearing, no pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, no writing in margins. The stain on the front cover has seeped through and is visible at the top of the first 16 pages, none of which compromises the legibility or understanding of the text. No missing pages. Apart from the stain, which sort of blends in with the cover and isn't overly noticeable, the book is in very good condition.
