Writer's Block - Therese Loreskär

Emma Singh is the new star in the British literary heaven. Her debut book broke sales records, and expectations for the follow-up are sky-high. With Emma's Indian background, her publisher takes for granted that her next novel will also be set in India. The problem is that Emma feels as British as Queen Elizabeth and barely knows the country where she has her roots. Inspiration fails to appear, the words won't flow, and Emma is forced to realise she's suffering from writer's block. With panic, she watches her deadline approaching and searches for a way out. Perhaps creativity will come alive if she changes her environment?

When Emma is offered the position as house mistress at a boarding school, she packs her bags and leaves London in a hurry. She imagines that she will have plenty of time to write alongside her work. But life as a house mistress is considerably more demanding than Emma had anticipated. When eleven-year-old Mira crosses her path, Emma realises there are others who have lost their way in life. Can the two help each other find the way forward? And is it right to abandon your dream when it's about to come true?

Writer's Block is the second standalone part in the Writing Sisters series.
