Perfectly bound and ideal for gifting, it’s a must-read that blends emotional depth with sharp wit. ## Description ‘Funny, touching and unpredictable’ Jojo Moyes Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive – but not how to live 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? Review: The Loneliness Beneath 'I'm Fine' - Some books tell a story and others quietly reach into places you didn’t expect them to touch. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine belongs firmly in the latter category. Very much my kind of novel, it joins a growing list of favourites centred on eccentric, lonely characters trying to find a place for themselves in a world that often feels indifferent. Eleanor is thirty years old-socially awkward, painfully literal and fiercely independent. She lives alone in Glasgow, works as a bookkeeper, spends her weekends with frozen pizza and vodka and insists she is completely fine. The tragedy and brilliance of the novel lies in the slow realisation that she is anything but. Gail Honeyman has created an unforgettable protagonist. Eleanor’s observations are often unintentionally funny, not because she is trying to be humorous but because she sees the world through an entirely singular lens. Beneath this humour, however, lies profound loneliness, emotional pain and a traumatic past that is revealed with remarkable restraint. As her carefully controlled world begins to widen through a series of chance encounters-especially her growing friendship with the warm hearted Raymond-she slowly begins to experience what genuine human connection feels like. What moved me most was the novel’s understanding of loneliness: not as something dramatic, but as a quiet, persistent ache. Honeyman explores depression, addiction, trauma and mental health with great compassion, never reducing Eleanor to her struggles. At its heart, the story is not about romantic salvation but about friendship, kindness and the simple power of being present for someone. Eleanor’s journey is both heartbreaking and hopeful, exposing the quiet fears that often sit beneath ordinary lives. Her longing to be seen, valued and understood speaks to a deeply human vulnerability that many of us struggle to articulate. A beautifully written debut with a memorable protagonist, this is a touching and unforgettable novel that I know I will return to again. If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend that you do pick it. Review: Engaging heartfelt must read! - An outstanding debut by Gail Honeyman. There is something about this book which makes you feel deeply. It’s an easy, touching and engaging read. Eleanor Oliphant, a 30-year female is a survivor. She works in an office, follows a set routine for weekdays and weekend too. Monday to Friday she is on time for her work, has lunch alone and reads the newspaper and solves crosswords. Friday’s she buys Margherita pizza, wine and vodka. The booze spreads through the weekend so that she is neither drunk nor sober. She is well-read and well mannered but doesn’t seem to fit in this society. She is lonely in this world and many situations expressed by the author from her viewpoint moves you deeply. Like she doesn’t speak from the point at which she says her destination to the bus driver on Friday night, right through until she greets his colleague on Monday morning. We are busy with our lives that we don’t realize that such people do exist. We may think, but such people do indeed exist. She thoroughly researches all activities before pursuing them. She is neither close to someone nor she hangs out socially. The author has wonderfully described her first experiences of many things like bikini wax, manicure, fast food restaurant, getting shampooed, dancing etc. Her relationship with Raymond (nothing romantic here) has been beautifully described. Eleanor meets new people and feels the warmth around them. It’s overwhelming but pleasant for her. As she doesn’t hang around with people she is completely natural (not diplomatic), sometimes weird and deadly honest. Her thoughts are sometimes humorous and sometimes silly. She thinks Bobbi Brown is a female, who works at the store. It’s moving how things that are considered normal doesn’t cross someone’s mind e.g. job change, moving to another city, etc. Eleanor had never walked hand in hand with someone; no one had ever rubbed her tired shoulders or stroked her face. There are times when she felt she would die of loneliness. A paragraph I would like to quote, “ 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 too be afflicted, or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.” Read this page-turning book to find out more about Eleanor and life from an angle of a person who is in loneliness. For me this book is unforgettable, unmissable, powerful, deeply moving with perfect combination of humor and sadness. I would rate this book 4.5/5.

Happy reading! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full of emotions yet far from being overly-sentimental! *by S***A on 8 March 2019* You often find some books which remain with you for a long time after you finish reading it. Same happened to me with Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine . I read this book way back in January and that book is still fresh in my mind till today. That only means that the book was amazing and it made its spot in my favourite books list. The main reason that I liked this book so much is its main character, Eleanor. Though I am nothing like Eleanor in real life, I related to her on so many levels. She is an unlikeable character in the beginning but as the story progresses you can’t NOT like her. She will make you feel for her. You would laugh with her on her punchlines. You would cry for her. You would dream with her. She will make you fall in love with her. In other words, this book is a rollercoaster of emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, you will get angry, you will be sad, but still, you would like every moment of that ride. Truth to be told, I had no idea what to expect from this book when I started it. I had only heard rave reviews about it and everyone was praising it last year. It also won Costa Debut Novel award in 2018. I am generally lucky with the hyped books, but still, I was afraid about picking this one. But I am so happy that I loved this book so much. Gail Honeyman has perfectly presented the mental illness concept and her writing will instantly connect with you. She has created a wonderful character, Eleanor. She is not perfect in any sense. She is flawed, lonely and straightforward, still manages to throw punches in between and you would laugh at her wittiness. This book is character-oriented and the other lovable character is Raymond, Eleanor’s colleague, who soon becomes her friend. I loved how Raymond and Eleanor’s relationship was portrayed and how he made Eleanor come out of her loneliness. She used to make fun of him because of his dressing sense and all, but soon Raymond made her realise there is so much in the world to see. She went to a totally different place because of him. He even persuaded her to see a therapist which she never realised was needed for her. Raymond was a good addition to her life 🙂 Books like Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine definitely deserve all the hype and every reader should give this one a chance. This has left a deep mark on my mind. It is hard to find books which are full of emotions and yet are far from being overly-sentimental. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/76023259-eleanor-oliphant-is-completely-fine-debut-sunday-times-bestseller-costa](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/76023259-eleanor-oliphant-is-completely-fine-debut-sunday-times-bestseller-costa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
