From Amazon:
One of the 20th century's most beloved novels is still winning hearts . . . (published in 1948) I Capture the Castle
tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who
live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here
she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She
fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her
journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the
castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the
time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle"-- and the
heart of the reader-- in one of literature's most enchanting
entertainments.
¡°This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met.¡± -- J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series
