"Every time I meet someone who also loves I Capture the Castle, I
know we must be kindred spirits." --from the new foreword by Jenny Han,
the New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I've Loved
Before.
A beautiful, deluxe edition of Dodie Smith's 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 that's 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
isn't 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 Cassandra's sharply funny, yet poignant, journal entries, she
chronicles 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 novels.
"This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met."
--J.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the Harry Potter series
