I capture the castle by dodie smith

Ohhhh my. I finished this book in one, huge gulp!  It is beautifully written. Clever, charming, witty, heartbreaking, hopeful, depressing... all in one. The ending made me furious, which made me love the book even more. It was real.

The story takes place in England in the 1930s. A family lives in a portion of a castle and this is their story, through the eyes of the middle child, 17 year-old Cassandra.

Enjoy!
