Synopsis

Welcome to the world of seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain. Written over eight months and in three notebooks, Cassandra tells of her extraordinary and very eccentric family and their life in a crumbling ramshackle castle. What was a very quiet and unassuming life for the Mortmains is fast transformed by the arrival of new, wealthy neighbours from America and Cassandra finds herself falling in love.

Set in the idyllic English countryside in the 1930s, this timeless classic will capture the heart of every reader, young or old.

About this title

Review:

"This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met" (J. K. Rowling)

"The appeal of the book is that of a time of innocence . . . When a girl of 17 could still be all but untouched by sexuality. At the same time it captures the pangs of growing up and unrequited first love." (Observer)

"A book for everyone who is young, poor, fed up and yearning for something exciting to happen" (Irish Times)

"[A] gorgeous new edition" (Geraldine Brennan Observer)

Book Description:
