About BOOK WEEK

A jaded English teacher is forced to re-evaluate his life when his latest book is passed over for one of his students.

 

When it looks like his novel is going to be published, the once famous novelist – Nicholas Cutler - thinks his luck has finally changed.

But what promises to be the best week of his life professionally, spirals into seven days of hell personally.

A pregnant girlfriend, student in trouble with the law, a gravely ill brother in law and the prospects of living a life of unfilled dreams, force Mr Cutler to re-examine just what’s most important in his life.
