Her life is a strictly timetabled routine – work with a Meal Deal and cryptic crossword at lunchtime, home for pesto, pasta and The Archers, weekends starting with a margherita pizza washed down with wine and litres of vodka. A routine to combat loneliness and being alone. A routine that is begging to be broken. Narrated in the first person, Eleanor’s life story slowly unfolds with hints to the mystery and darkness shrouding her past present from the start. Funny and sad, it painfully peels back the layers that Eleanor has carefully encased herself in, stuck down as firmly as her sensible, Velcro-fastening shoes. Acts of kindness, an ill-conceived infatuation and an unexpected friendship cause Eleanor to realise that she isn’t the guilty, hopeless and unworthy social outcast she believed herself to be but somebody people genuinely admire, respect and care about. I loved seeing the world through Eleanor’s eyes, her spin on nail bars, clothes shopping, death metal gigs and a Hollywood bikini wax. Her specialness and otherness is endearing and engaging, her lack of off filter absolutely hysterical at times. Hashtag be kind - to yourself and others.

 The human need for connection, initially scorned by Eleanor, is this heart-rending novel’s central theme. Eleanor Oliphant is most definitely not completely fine, but she is one of the most unusual and thought-provoking heroines of recent contemporary fiction.  From pop-star crushes to meals for one, the life of an outsider is vividly captured in this joyful debut, discovered through a writing competition and sold for huge sums worldwide...And what a joy it is. The central character of Eleanor feels instantly and insistently real...This is a narrative full of quiet warmth and deep and unspoken sadness. It makes you want to throw a party and invite everyone you know and give them a hug, even that person at work everyone thinks is a bit weird. PremiosDistincionesListas de sobresalientes

HTML: EL PERSONAJE QUE HA ENCENDIDO LA MENTE Y EL CORAZ?N DE TODO EL MUNDO. «Eleanor Oliphant está perfectamente es un destello literario realmente original: divertido, conmovedor e impredecible. La travesía que recorre Eleanos para salir de las sombras más oscuras está magistralmente urdida y atrapa hasta el final.» «Qué fuerza tiene... Eleanor Oliphant está perfectamente me tiene conquistada.» «Te hace reír en voz alta a la vez que te va provocando una sensación acechante de miedo, para luego noquearte con el espectacular giro en la trama. Un debut impresionante como pocos.» Eleanor Wasserberg «Me cuesta pensar en un personaje que me haya calado más hondo que el de Eleanor Oliphant.» Jo Cannon «El atractivo debut de Honeyman es en parte comedia, en parte thriller emocional y en parte historia de amor.» Kirkus Reviews «Los lectores animarán a Eleanor mientras esta se enfrenta con su oscuro pasado y lo convierte en un futuro más luminoso.» Booklist Eleanor Oliphant siempre dice lo que piensa. Lucha por dejar de ser alguien con pocas habilidades sociales. Se ha preparado un calendario vital cuidadoso y estricto para evitar interacciones sociales: los fines de semana los pasa sola comiendo pizza congelada y bebiendo vodka y todos los miércoles habla con su madre. Pero todo cambia cuando Eleanor conoce a Raymond, el informático de la oficina. Juntos abandonarán la soledad en la que han estado viviendo. Una novela cálida y elegante. La historia de una heroína fuera de lo común, cuya inexplicable rareza e ingenio descarado la llevará a darse cuenta de que la única manera de sobr No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
