Perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. 'Wonderful' - Rosie Walsh, author of The Man Who Didn't Call Elvira Carr is twenty-seven, neurodivergent and has never lived alone. But her father - who she suspects was in the secret service - is dead, and when her mother has a stroke and is taken into care, Elvira suddenly finds herself home alone. In order to cope, Elvira - who knows a lot about biscuits and supermarkets, but not much about life - develops Seven Rules for interacting with others.
