However, everything changes when Eleanor begins to have feelings for a local singer, Johnnie Lomond. As the story unfolds, we learn of Eleanor’s childhood trauma, having lived in foster homes and been in a physically abusive relationship. Despite this, she is strong and independent in herself, preferring her own company to that of others. Her social life is non-existent, and she is always the butt of her colleagues' jokes. Eleanor refuses to acknowledge she has a drinking problem, preferring to state that she is “absolutely fine" whenever she is asked about it. She does not take care of herself physically or emotionally and is an alcoholic. The book follows finance clerk, Eleanor Oliphant, a socially awkward young woman approaching her thirties.
