So much so that she eventually becomes one of its main characters. And while Uri is dismayed and, at times, exasperated by this turn of events, he's also grown accustomed to Eleanor's company and cooking, and, as such, begrudgingly puts up with the semi-appropriation of his memoir.Though what remains imperceptible to Uri-until the novel's final, thrilling pages-is that Eleanor's appearance in his life wasn't coincidental; it was manufactured by her.
