The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman, trapped between her role as her alcoholic father's carer and her day job as a secretary at the prison.

When the charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted and unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship.

In a Hitchcockian twist, her affection for Rebecca ultimately pulls her into complicity in a crime that surpasses her wildest imaginings.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven's wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish and compelling." ( The Times)
"Excellent...a taut, well-written, and completely engrossing novel...culminating in a dynamite ending." ( Boston Globe)

I really tried hard to enjoy this Audible as it has so much potential. Unfortunately my mind kept wandering as I listened or else I fell asleep. Very disappointing:(

Disappointing

“Eileen” was a grotesquely honest depiction of a woman’s life as she matures in 1960’s New England. Painting a deeply open view of Eileen’s world, Mosfegh creates an eerily sinister view of those she works with, her family, her love life, her obsession with her own anatomy, and so much more. Furthermore, the novel itself is atmospheric and bleak.. Which I felt for the narration beautifully! I also feel as though “Eileen” could be seen as a critical analysis of feminine isolation and one’s loneliness. Yet another beautiful read!

Another fantastic read!

Slow pace. Ending surprised me. Worth the read if you can wait till the very end to be surprised

The narrator was great, the story was boring. There wasn't much of a reveal because the story starts at the end instead of the beginning.

The narrator was great. The story was a build up nothing. It was a let down.
