Eleanor Oliphant -- despite her social isolation and the rules she sets to survive weekends -- insists that she is just fine. But is she really? The gentle overtures of a coworker who accepts her as she is provide her the emotional support she needs when a horrific (and embarrassing) event forces her to reevaluate her life. As it turns out, Eleanor Oliphant is absolutely not completely fine...but she will be. Her earnest but misguided perceptions of other people offer charm, poignancy, and humor, portrayed well in Cathleen McCarron's reading, which "shines in setting the story's emotional tone" (AudioFile). |
