Mr B's review

England, 1934. Cassandra lives in a castle. Unfortunately, it’s falling down around her, as her family slips into genteel poverty. The unlikely arrival of two new neighbours promises change… and potential romance. Deliciously eccentric, Smith’s world is one of artists’ models and intellectuals, moonlit strolls, moustached men, and wellies worn with nothing else. Dreamy, romantic, charming – this book took very good care of me. It will take good care of you, too. – Liv

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
