Our Take

Eleanor's rigid routine is the architecture of a person who survived something unthinkable and rebuilt on damage. Honeyman unfolds the history slowly and with care, and when it arrives it recontextualises everything. A novel about how people hold themselves together when there is nothing left to hold.
