Elvira Carr is a quirky heroine struggling to find her way in a world that doesn't quite understand her. Frances Maynard's heart-warming and triumphant debut, The Seven Imperfect Rules of Elvira Carr, is a story for anyone who doesn't quite fit in - and for everyone who chooses not to.

Elvira Carr is twenty-seven, neuro-atypical, and has never lived alone. But her father - who she suspects was in the secret service - is dead, and when her mother has a stroke and is taken into care, Elvira suddenly finds herself home alone. In order to cope, Elvira - who knows a lot about biscuits and supermarkets, but not much about life - develops Seven Rules for interacting with others. Not even her rules can help her, however, when she's faced with solving a mystery she didn't know existed . . .

Wonderful, big-hearted and charming, this uplifting coming-of-age tale will appeal to fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.
