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.
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.
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...
評分两千多年前,儒家学派的开创者之一的孟子就曾经在《离娄章句上》提出了这一告诫:“不以规矩,不能成方圆。”每一个人生来就自然带着一个标签——“社会人”——他的一切言语行为都终究需要下意识地遵循一定的规则,而且规则越完善、越能得到有效的遵循,则社会运行得就越趋于...
評分 評分Why Gail Honeyman's debut 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' has become so raved is not entirely unfathomable. I remember another fictional character - a grumpy suicidal old bastard named Ove who, in so many ways, resembles our protagonist here, being em...
I do exist, don’t I? It often feels as if I’m not here, that I’m a figment of my own imagination.
评分個人自我代入,所以5星~~
评分得承認我是帶著“偏見”開始讀它的:17年暢銷書,而如今齣版商市場營銷言不符實的原因,讀者很多時候不得不調整期望值,尤其是遇到“通俗小說”的時候。 所以意外的,我很喜歡這本書。Oliphant令人印象深刻,從頭到底都讓我不停地琢磨她,因她社交上的或遲鈍或無禮而笑齣聲,又同時忍不住很想給她一個擁抱。She makes me care. 書涉及的最大的主題:孤獨 (其他的: 誤解,不懂自己,不懂他人,勇敢 友誼)不是第一次被探討的。但這本書的魅力在於作者塑造齣的主人公,帶著很多現代高速社會不寬容的行為,讓我們覺得真實的同時也下意識的反思:我有沒有犯書裏人物的錯誤,快速地審判他人?而我們的社會是不是也隻喜歡接受一個“我很好”的答案? 不會,因為我們還有很多的Elearnor 和 Raymond
评分正要驚呼“我褲子都脫瞭你就給我看個這“的時候來瞭個驚天大逆轉,目測非常適閤改編成電影,關於那個大逆轉的後續或許還能齣個續集。比起英國小說更像美國小說,作為處女作算是閤格瞭。
评分Eleanor的孤獨與痛苦如此relatable,以至於讀的時候常常迴想起小時候被媽媽打罵的場景,有時氣得發抖,有時又淚如雨下。很欣慰地看到她慢慢走齣陰影,也有瞭關心自己的朋友,沒有人的童年是完美的吧!成年的我們能做的,就是一點點正視、接納自己
