Mi chiamo Eleanor Oliphant e sto bene, anzi: sto benissimo.
Non bado agli altri. So che spesso mi fissano, sussurrano, girano la testa quando passo. Forse è perché io dico sempre quello che penso. Ma io sorrido. Ho quasi trent’anni e da nove lavoro nello stesso ufficio. In pausa pranzo faccio le parole crociate. Poi torno a casa e mi prendo cura di Polly, la mia piantina: lei ha bisogno di me, e io non ho bisogno di nient’altro. Perché da sola sto bene.
Solo il mercoledì mi inquieta, perché è il giorno in cui arriva la telefonata di mia madre. Mi chiama dalla prigione. Dopo averla sentita, mi accorgo di sfiorare la cicatrice che ho sul volto e ogni cosa mi sembra diversa. Ma non dura molto, perché io non lo permetto.
E se me lo chiedete, infatti, io sto bene. Anzi, benissimo.
O così credevo, fino a oggi.
Perché oggi è successa una cosa nuova. Qualcuno mi ha rivolto un gesto gentile. Il primo della mia vita. E all’improvviso, ho scoperto che il mondo segue delle regole che non conosco. Che gli altri non hanno le mie paure, non cercano a ogni istante di dimenticare il passato. Forse il «tutto» che credevo di avere è precisamente tutto ciò che mi manca. E forse è ora di imparare davvero a stare bene.
Anzi: benissimo.

My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr... ALL THE STARS !!! I won an advanced copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. Thank you! To be honest, I'm not sure if this book would have been on my radar if I hadn't won it. Although the great reviews may have pulled me i Leggi tutto
5 Stars. “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine” but after finishing this novel, I am not. I was completely unprepared for the life of Eleanor Oliphant and that of her ‘Mummy.” To be frank, I was ill-equipped to deal with it, much like Eleanor. And it wrecked me. At thirty years-old, Eleanor Oliphant Leggi tutto
Eleanor Oliphant is completely 100% fine. She goes to her office job five days a week and then treats herself to a frozen pizza and a bottle of vodka on a weekend. She lives alone and doesn't have any friends, but that's okay. She's doing real well, thank you very much. Except maybe she isn't. Elean Leggi tutto
Need a good read for a bad day? Here's a Booktube Video all about it!! The Written Review If someone asks you how you are, you are meant to say FINE. You are not meant to say that you cried yourself to sleep last night because you hadn't spoken to another person for two consecutive d
No. No. No. No. No. No. All apologies to my lovely Goodreads friends who have liked (or loved) this book, but it's not for me. And it's sad. . . because I wanted it, I waited for it, and I was finally able to start it. It's Mother's Day, and my family handed me bath salts and my new book and told me Leggi tutto
4.5! What an incredible story! “These days, loneliness is the new cancer - a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare not mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might Leggi tutto
I’m really surprised that I (mostly) enjoyed this in the end. The plot itself is a somewhat dull slice of life, but the titular character really picks up the slack. Eleanor Oliphant is a good example of a well-written unlikeable character. She is aloof, judgemental, uncomfortably awkward, and I hate Leggi tutto
5 STARS Thank you, Eleanor Oliphant. Thank you for picking me up out of my reading slump. Thank you for being so funny, so sad, so smart, so blunt. Thank you for being a literary character that will live forever in the hearts of (most) anyone that reads you. Oh, and a big thank you for enriching my o Leggi tutto
As you can deduce from the title, Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine . Or, so she thinks. But, by most people’s standards, I’d say not. When you first meet her, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmingly sad for Eleanor. Maybe even to pity her a bit. Eleanor is simply existing in a lonely and somber life w Leggi tutto
Here is a novel at the exact room temperature everyone likes, not too cold, not to hot, just right, it’s like Goldilocks finding the right bed, everybody jumps in and goes right off to sleep, no one has a bad word to say, the Guardian loved it, the Irish Times said it “hits the accessible literary s Leggi tutto
