Gail Honeyman is a graduate of the universities of Glasgow and Oxford. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine was short-listed for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize as a work in progress and is Honeyman’s debut novel. She lives in Glasgow, Scotland.
Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . .
The only way to survive is to open your heart.
《艾莉诺好极了》是一本讲述孤独的书,撇开抑郁症不谈,这仍是一份现代都市的寂寥之书。我时常在想,当我们从传统的乡土社会走进现代都市,我们也走进了一种完全不同的生存方式中。传统的邻里观念在城市生活中近乎完全失效,楼宇和街道成为高墙和沟壑,处处都是陌生人。我们远...
评分 评分看完之后有一种看国产偶像剧的感觉,原生家庭异常糟糕的女生,生命中突然闯进一位陌生男人,接着开始了自己的救赎之路。逐渐摆脱之前生理和心理上的问题,回归正常生活,找到新的目标,生的希望,一切回归正轨。 最喜欢的是对于生活细节的描写,让我非常有代入感,一个独居女性...
评分 评分看了很多评论,并且跟身边同样看过这本书(大部分是美国人,提出这一点是因为我在思考是不是有文化差异)的朋友讨论过后,我发现了一个令我惊讶并且有点难以理解的事实:原来大部分人都觉得Eleanor是一个很不讨人喜欢的人,即便是在阅读的过程里,她们也会觉得这个角色本身虽然...
5/10. "LOL could go and take a running jump. I wasn't made for illiteracy./The moment hung in time like a drop of honey from a spoon, heavy, golden./Obscenity is the distinguishing hallmark of a sadly limited vocabulary."/說連續第二天餐廳裡像美劇裡的熟客; newly laid egg; 如果可以的話扔進動物園; 沉默間歇像questions crystallising; 和Ove很像 可惜那部電影就沒能喜歡 如果之前知道的話大概不會讀 但只看到說千萬不要被劇透 非我杯茶
评分大热的这一本,却根本读不下去,太抵触女主这种性格了。年纪大了丧失圣母耐心,生活中遇到这种情商低、为人苛刻、自私淡漠的人,也是实在提不起兴趣去了解其内心世界和往日创伤。看书评说好多人也是要停下来缓一缓才能接着读,我还是敬谢不敏了…
评分R4 read by Tracy Wiles. 许久没读到这么好的书了
评分对这小说嗤之以鼻 直到看完过了几天 发生了一种丧失 一个哲学思考的引子 可如果生命里没这事儿 本书写的方式 并不会主动启发什么
评分Eleanor的孤独与痛苦如此relatable,以至于读的时候常常回想起小时候被妈妈打骂的场景,有时气得发抖,有时又泪如雨下。很欣慰地看到她慢慢走出阴影,也有了关心自己的朋友,没有人的童年是完美的吧!成年的我们能做的,就是一点点正视、接纳自己
