The Seven Imperfect Rules of Elvira Carr Frances Maynard

'Big-hearted and charming.' - James Hannah, author of The A to Z of You and Me

Funny, heartwarming and ultimately triumphant, The Seven Imperfect Rules of Elvira Carr by Frances Maynard is the perfect story for anyone who doesnt quite fit in and for everyone who chooses not to.

Elvira Carr is twenty-seven and neuro-atypical. Her father who she suspects was in the secret service has passed away and, after several Unfortunate Incidents growing up, she now spends most of her time at home with her overbearing mother. But when her mother has a stroke and is taken into care, Elvira is suddenly forced to look after herself or risk ending up in Sheltered Accommodation. Armed with her Seven Rules, which she puts together after online research, Elvira hopes to learn how to navigate a world thats full of people she doesnt understand. Not even the Seven Rules can help her, however, when she discovers that everything she thought she knew about her father was a lie, and is faced with solving a mystery she didnt even know existed . . .
