A whimsical blend of memoir and travelogue, laced with wry writing advice, Bleaker House is a tale of creative have difficulty that brilliantly captures the self-torture of the writing life. Twenty-seven-year-old Nell Stevens was determined to create a book, but life maintained getting in just how. Then emerged a game-changing opportunity: she gained a fellowship that could let her spend 90 days, all bills paid, all over the world to research and write a e book. Would she choose a glittering metropolis, an enchanting village, an exotic paradise? Not exactly. Nell select Bleaker Island, a snowy, windswept pile of rock in the Falklands. There, in a guesthouse where she'd be the one guest, she could finally rid herself of distractions and write. In 90 days, surely she'd have a book. And affirmed, apart from sheep, penguins, paranoia, and the elements, there aren't many distractions on Bleaker. Nell reaches work on a wonderful Dickensian fiction she calling Bleaker House - and then find that total isolation and 1,100 calories from fat per day are definately not ideal conditions for literary creation. With deft humor, the memoir traces Nell's island days and slowly shows details of the life span and people she's left behind in pursuit of her writing. They pop-up in her book, too, and in other imaginary pieces that dot the e book. It seems that there is certainly nowhere Nell can run - an island or the webpages of her notebook - to escape the big questions of love, fine art, and ambition. As Nell races to finish her book, Bleaker House grades the arrival of your remarkable literary ability.
