I CAPTURE THE CASTLE

by Dodie Smith

I adore this book. Every year or so, on a rainy day, I will pick it up again just so I can indulge in the world and characters again.

This gorgeous coming-of-age story is told by 17-year-old Cassandra, who is trying to capture the everyday lives of her extraordinary family. J.K. Rowling has called Cassandra 'one of the most charismatic narrators I have ever met' and once you have read this book you will understand why.  Romanticand witty, this book is a real treat.
