Winner of the Costa First Novel Award, this story will appeal to any fans of Jojo Moyes or Liane Moriarty. Our eponymous central character leads a very solitary, structured life, same clothes, same food, same two bottles of vodka each weekend. Eleanor exists but has not fully grasped how to live. This tale follows her as she tackles life and gradually reveals the deeply buried reasons behind her behaviour. This book is funny yet poignant and heart breaking. Honeyman has tackled the topic of loneliness, isolation and how our social interactions help form our understanding of others. This book will be the well-thumbed fodder of many a book group in years to come.
