Eleanor is the new girl in town, returning home to her mother, stepfather, and brothers and sister after spending a year away from them. "I just can't believe that life would give us to each other," he said, "and then take it back."Įleanor & Park is a 2013 Young Adult novel by Rainbow Rowell. ![]()
