Book for Discussion: “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman

‍

“Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine,” a novel set in contemporary Glasgow, Scotland, tells the story of Eleanor Oliphant, a finance clerk approaching her 30s. 

Gail Honeyman, the author, masterfully weaves a narrative that balances heart-wrenching moments with wry humor, taking readers on a journey through the complexities of human connection, mental health, and the power of empathy.
