About the book

Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle is narrated by Cassandra Mortmain, a witty and imaginative seventeen-year-old living with her eccentric family in a crumbling English castle. When two wealthy American brothers arrive nearby, the Mortmains' isolated life is transformed by romance, jealousy and new possibilities. Told through Cassandra's diary, the novel combines coming-of-age, family comedy and romantic disappointment with a wonderfully atmospheric portrait of rural England. When two wealthy American brothers move into the neighbourhood, the family's lives become increasingly complicated by romance and changing ambitions.
