Trapped between caring for her alcoholic father and her job as a secretary at the boys' prison, Eileen Dunlop dreams of escaping to the big city.

In the meantime, her nights and weekends are filled with shoplifting and cleaning up her increasingly deranged father's messes.

When the beautiful, charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted, unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship. But soon, Eileen's affection for Rebecca pull her into a crime that far surpasses even her own wild imagination.

'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©2015 Ottessa Moshfegh (P)2015 Recorded Books Inc Fiction de genre Fiction femmes Fiction littéraire Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense

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.
