Nell Stevens was determined to write a novel, but life at 27 years old can get quite hectic. She was awarded a fellowship that let her spend three months anywhere in the world to research and write a book, with all the expenses paid, of course. With all the places Nell could choose from, you would assume that a snowy and cold isolated house would be one of the last options, but not for Nell. Bleaker Island was a place where she could rid herself from distractions, buckle down and finally write her novel.<\/p>\n

When Nell arrives to Bleaker Island, there aren’t many distractions and she finally writes her book, calling it Bleaker<\/em>\u00a0House.\u00a0<\/em>This memoir<\/a> follows Nell’s days on the island and the people she has left behind in order to pursue her love of writing.<\/p>\n
