*The Book of Eleanor* is an intricately woven tale which takes us, thread by thread, through a web of deception and family secrets. The imagery of the lifestyle of this family as they wander from place to place, country to country, is convincing and disturbing. The young protagonist emerges from the turmoil which the family has perpetuated across generations, with a quiet resolve to face the secrets of her family, and begins an adventurous self-discovery. Like *The Poisonwood Bible* this is an absorbing story of quiet courage in adversity.
A beautifully written story about family and life's lessons

The Book of Eleanor is a well written, captivating story about learning some of life's most important lessons, and how our families and our youth shape who we are. Read the first page, and it is likely that you will not put this book down until its conclusion. This is a fine piece of work, and well placed with the likes of A River Runs Through it (Norman McLean), The Horse Whisperer (Nicolas Evans), or Animal Dreams (Barbara Kingsolver) .
