Description

Eleanor Oliphant struggles with social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Her life is carefully timetabled, with weekends punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. When she meets Raymond, a bumbling IT guy from her office, their lives begin to change. Together they rescue Sammy, an elderly man who has fallen on the sidewalk, and the trio become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from lives of isolation. Raymond’s big heart ultimately helps Eleanor repair her own profoundly damaged one. The story is a smart, warm, and uplifting tale of an extraordinary heroine whose deadpan wit and resilience make for an irresistible journey as she discovers that the only way to survive is to open her heart.
