SOLVED. YA/General - Very similar to Eleanor Oliphant - woman with possible autism lives with mother, who is hospitalised. She has to learn to manage alone with help of neighbours... [s]

[Romy]

Spoilers ahead:



She gradually discovers that her mother kept a lot from her and that she has a half brother. She joins a group at the library to learn how to use a computer. The mother has to go into a home at the end. Read it in the last couple of years, it was around the same time that Eleanor Oliphant came out. I think the title may have had a name in it. Set in the UK.

Kinda reminds of Carrie Pilby and Invisible Ellen, but I don't think it's either of those.

When did you read it?

[Romy]

Thanks but no it’s not those. I think I read it in 2018 or early 2019 but not sure if it was new then

I found it finally - it was the Seven Imperfect Rules of Elvira Carr by Frances Maynard

Glad you found your book, Romy. Here's the link - The Seven Imperfect Rules of Elvira Carr by Frances Maynard.
