ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Eileen” by Ottessa Moshfegh follows the life of 24-year-old Eileen Dunlop, a lonely and self-loathing woman living in a decaying New England town. Working at a boys' correctional facility, she forms an obsession with Rebecca, a glamorous new counselor who seems to offer Eileen the connection and escape she craves. As their relationship deepens, Eileen becomes entangled in Rebecca’s dark and morally questionable plans. The novel explores themes of isolation, identity, and moral ambiguity, delving into the complexities of human desire, self-worth, and the consequences of desperate actions.
