After Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine spent its fifth week in the Sunday Times top 10 bestseller list, Friday 7th July was marked Eleanor Oliphant Day, a wonderful celebration for #SmallActsofOliphant.
From helping someone with their bag on the tube, or buying a Big Issue, to giving your parents a call for a catch up, Gail Honeyman‘s incredible debut inspired acts of kindness across the country, and even further afar.
Here are just some of the tweets from the day:
