With the Man of her Dreams' gig approaching, Eleanor realises she's badly neglected her self-improvement plans. Some urgent pampering is required...

Tracy Wiles reads Gail Honeyman's heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking novel.

Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything. But one simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor has built around herself.

Abridged by Richard Hamilton.
