I Capture the Castle

This is a delightful book. Cassandra is enchanting. I love how she develops her writing by journaling and we get an inside view into her personal thoughts, dreams, and frustrations. It was true to the period, which I have found lacking in a few books I have read lately. There were a few moments when I thought – just go get a job (especially as a single working mother). However, it was true to their class situation in the time-period. I felt it was a little slow in a few spots but over all I just loved it. I want to live in a dilapidated castle.
