âEvery time I meet someone who also loves I Capture the Castle, I know we must be kindred spirits.â âfrom the new foreword by Jenny Han, the New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys Iâve Loved Before.
A beautiful, deluxe edition of Dodie Smithâs beloved novel, I Capture the Castle, featuring a new foreword by New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han, a stunning new cover, and designed endpapers that is perfect for devoted readers and those discovering this timeless story for the first time.
Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain and her family may live in a ramshackle old English castle, but thatâs about as romantic as her life gets. While her beautiful older sister, Rose, longs to live in a Jane Austen novel, Cassandra knows that meeting an eligible man to marry isnât in either of their futures when their home is crumbling and they have to sell their furniture for food. So Cassandra instead strives to hone her writing skills in her journals. Until one day when their new landlords move in, which include two (very handsome) sons, and the lives of the Mortmain sisters change forever.
Through Cassandraâs sharply funny, yet poignant, journal entries, she chronicles the great changes that take place within the castleâs walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has âcaptured the castleâ â and the heart of the reader â in one of literatureâs most enchanting novels.
âThis book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met.â âJ.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the Harry Potter series
