Struggling with life....
My spouse read this novel and here's her review.
An intriguing story told with kindness. Each detail is gradually brought into focus. Eleanor is a slightly odd-ball loner who struggles to interpret the world around her. Apparently dominated by a mother who telephones each week and taunts her daughter for all her inadequacies until, one day, a meeting with Raymond from IT leads to her world gradually opening up. The author cleverly reveals Eleanor's past.
It took me a while to warm to the central character but once the reader lets her in, she maintains the interest. The book was beautifully descriptive of city life and how one can get marginalized.
