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.
