Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain chronicles six tumultuous months in her family's life within a decaying Suffolk castle. As they navigate poverty and eccentricity, Cassandra's heart is unexpectedly captured. Will love bring salvation or further turmoil? Discover the secrets hidden within her journal and the fate of the Mortmain family in this timeless tale of wit and adventure.
From the publisher
Dodie Smith’s first novel transcends the oft-stodgy definition of “a classic” by being as brightly witty and adventuresome as it was when published nearly fifty years ago.
