This was quite a different read. From what a friend said, I thought it would be a bit lighter ~ not so much! It was pretty humorous because of the awkwardness and rigidity of the main character and how she responds to acquaintances in her life, but as the story unfolds it becomes evident that she has been a victim of her mother's abusiveness, and her character flaws all stem from that.
Eleanor, despite all of her horrible background situations, is quite a functional gal who is intelligent and disciplined in her work ethic. What she misses is social interaction and an understanding that an important part of life includes friends and family, which she doesn't have...until a kind and observant co-worker steps in. Raymond saves Eleanor from herself and her past. This is a powerful story of redemption.
