Bleaker House: Chasing My Novel to the End of the World

'Perfect' Lena Dunham 'This year's literary sensation' Evening Standard

How far would you travel to become a writer?
8000 miles from home
1085 calories a day
3 months to write the novel that would make her name

At least that was the plan. But when Nell Stevens travelled to Bleaker Island in the Falklands (official population: two) she didnt count on the isolation getting to her . . .

Hilarious and heartbreaking, this is a book about loneliness and creativity. It is about discovering who you are when theres no one else around. And its about what to do when a plan doesnt work: ultimately Nell may have failed to write a novel, but she succeeded in becoming a writer.
