10. Eleanor Rigby


Who is Liz Dunn? Pathetic, lonely, pitiful, depressed and miserable. Heart-wrenching, beautiful, witty and a mother. This was my first taste of a Douglas Coupland novel and he has completely and utterly captured my heart. I absolutely enjoyed this book and his honest style of writing. His characters were so real and insightful, especially Liz and Jeremy, and the interactions between the characters were especially enjoyable to read. The plot was interesting and engaging, laced with so much humour and honesty.

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been

Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
