In the novel Gail Honeyman takes us through the transformation journey of the protagonist,Eleanor who is social misfit due to the traumatic experiences she had to encounter as a child. Though one may find the start a bit slow ,it's all worth in the end.The novel is a roller coaster of emotions,not overly sentimental;just the right amount. The book emphasises on the small acts of kindness ,compassion towards fellow beings &not the least,the importance of mental health. To put it in Eleanor's words:"Sometimes you simply needed someone kind to sit with you while you dealt with things."@sreelakshmi_ram
