I Capture the Castle

Meer over het boek

The glorious return of one of the 20th century's best-loved novels! Brightly clever and adventuresome, 17-year-old Cassandra Mortmain shares her captivating journal, a chronicle of her first love and of her extraordinary life with her odd family. They live in not-so-genteel poverty in the crumbling ruin of an old English castle. This book is that rare gem of a literate modern classic that marvelously blends humor, candid introspection, romance, poignancy, and all the complicated turns of eccentric family relationships. By the end of the story, Cassandra has not only captured the castle, but has thoroughly captured the hearts of her listeners.
