I read this book in one sitting,,,a beautiful read, captures the feeling of loneliness perfectly, writes beautiful meaning / feelings behind simple gestures like making a cup of tea for someone...I wished so much that Eleanor would find inner peace. Eleanor's character was …more described so well I felt I knew her and I think I do know people who experience loneliness in the same way as she felt it in the book and develop similar oddities that some of us find entertaining at best and weird at worst. The book had many hilarious elements however there was a continual undercurrent topic of isolation in the book that impacted a young lady that left her flat daily to go to work in a busy office...I found the book hopeful,,,small changes can help you move from A to B and its an adventure that people find fascinating, friendship can be there if we open our eyes and hearts to seen it...a fantastic book...I look forward to Gail Honeymans next book.
