I seldom stay up past my bedtime reading anymore, but this book was the exception. It was like watching a tight green bud turn into a fragrant rose. Eleanor, who has been a ward of the state for most of her childhood in Scotland, has a boring job in a graphics firm. She’s struggled all her life with getting along with others. Reading between the lines, many of her actions are those of an autistic person. She’d very intelligent and takes things literally. She has no idea of social niceties. Her quirkiness and relationship with the IT guy at the company make for fun reading, but her actual history isn’t so funny, and it slowly reveals it ugly. This book has an element that is one of my favorite characteristics of a book, well developed characters.
