Eleanor Olifantová je čudáčka. Vymyká sa všeobecným predstavám o spoločenskom správaní a má vo zvyku povedať presne to, čo má na jazyku. V spojení s nezvyčajným výzorom – zjazvené líce, rukavica na zakrytie ekzému – to znamená, že Eleanor je samotárka alebo, ako sama seba nazýva, „sebestačná bytosť“. V starostlivo rozvrhnutom živote a s telefonátmi od „mamy“, ktorá sedí vo väzení za neznáme zločiny, jej zdanlivo nič nechýba. Všetko sa však zmení, ked sa Eleanor zaľúbi do miestneho hipsterského hudobníka Johnnieho. Počas príprav na neodvratné spojenie s objektom svojej túžby sa Eleanor zoznámi s novým chlapíkom z práce Raymondom. Hoci Eleanor neveľmi príťažlivým kolegom spočiatku trochu pohŕda, postupne v ňom získava prvého ozajstného priateľa vo svojom živote. Vďaka Raymondovi nájde odvahu čeliť démonom minulosti a zisťuje, že láska je čosi viac, ako ju naučila „mama“...

In confessing to secrets she has hidden for twenty years, she will find atonement for the past. As the volunteer points out, ‘Even though you've done your travelling, you're starting a new journey too.'Queenie thought her first letter would be the end of the story. She was wrong. It was the beginning.Told in simple, emotionally-honest prose, with a mischievous bite, this is a novel about the journey we all must take to learn who we are; it is about loving and letting go. And most of all it is about finding joy in unexpected places and at times we least expect.
