Description

Cassandra Mortmain lives with her bohemian and impoverished family in a crumbling castle in the middle of nowhere.

Her journal records her life with her beautiful, bored sister, Rose, her fading glamorous stepmother, Topaz, her little brother Thomas, and her eccentric novelist father who suffers from a financially crippling writer's block.

However, all their lives are turned upside down when the American heirs to the castle arrive and Cassandra finds herself falling in love for the first time.

'I know of few novels that inspire as much fierce lifelong affection in their readers' Joanna Trollope

Super schöne Coming-Of-Age-Story. Dieses Buch wird mir lange im Gedächtnis bleiben, auch weil es irgendwie melancholisch ist.

oh, cassandra. i stared this book expecting to be bored by it and in the end, i ended up loving it to bits and every character in it too it’s such a wonderfully narrated story - it takes you through such absolute ups and downs and through really good fulfilling character development that you can’t help but get attached to everyone mentioned. and all the while with such a tone of love for everyone around cassandra, even when they behave badly or foolishly or full of themselves. <3
