Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home.

Eleanor Oliphant heeft haar leven vrij goed onder controle. Ze draagt elke dag dezelfde kleren, eet elke dag dezelfde maaltijd, en koopt elk weekend twee flessen wodka. Met Eleanor Oliphant gaat eigenlijk alles goed. Haar zorgvuldig gestructureerde leven loopt op rolletjes en ze mist niks. Of althans, soms (best wel vaak eigenlijk) is ze eenzaam en zou ze gelukkig willen zijn. Als Eleanor op een dag samen met een collega een oudere man helpt die gevallen is, verandert haar hele leven onverwachts. De muren die haar al zo lang beschermen verdwijnen als sneeuw voor de zon, en ze zal voor het eerst de confrontatie met haar angsten en twijfels aan moeten gaan. Want Eleanor Oliphant weet misschien wel hoe ze moet functioneren, maar ze heeft geen idee hoe ze moet leven.

Celý život ťa učili, aby si nerobil neporiadok a chyby: Dávaj si pozor! Kresli tak, aby si nevyšiel za čiaru! Urob to najlepšie, ako vieš, a to za každú cenu! Nechytaj nič, z čoho by si sa mohol zašpiniť! V tejto knihe to budeš robiť naopak. Ber to ako svoju súkromnú zbierku výtržností. Miesto, kde sa môžeš uvoľniť, urobiť neporiadok, vyvádzať, čo sa ti len zachce, robiť veci, ktoré inde robiť nesmieš. Nastal čas vzbúriť sa a urobiť totálny chaos. Zapamätaj si tieto tri pravidlá: 1. Nesnaž sa vytvoriť niečo krásne. 2. Príliš nepremýšľaj. (Neexistuje nič „nesprávne“.) 3. Pokračuj za každých okolností.
