A strange novel, not really a novel about a woman who wants to be a novelist and goes off to the Falkland Islands to figure out how to write a novel and ends up failing but in a really good way. This is funny and odd and sometimes touching. I'm still not entirely sure what to make of it, but I did enjoy it.

Nell Stevens had a fantastic idea to write a novel in the most isolated island in The Falklands with nothing but the wilderness, penguins and her ideas. The end product wasn't the novel she was anticipating, but instead a wonderfully witty take on self-discovery during her isolation. I loved her determination to become bona fide writer and safe to say she succeeded beautifully with this quite a unique book. I hope to see more of her work in the future as she has incredible potential.
