'I write this sitting in the kitchen sink' is the first line of this timeless, witty and enchanting novel about growing up. Cassandra Mortmain lives with her bohemian and impoverished family in a crumbling castle in the middle of nowhere. Her journal records her life with her beautiful, bored sister, Rose, her fadingly glamorous stepmother, Topaz, her little brother Thomas and her eccentric novelist father who suffers from a financially crippling writer's block. However, all their lives are turned upside down when the American heirs to the castle arrive and Cassandra finds herself falling in love for the first time.

This is a wishlist book for Fleurdelys. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for the lovely surprise :) I am looking forward to reading it!

I couldn't really get into this, although I think it perhaps just wasn't a genre that I usually enjoy very much.

Posting to Sweden as a secret mission.......Sshhhhh!

The book is now safely with secret agent Vilda. Thanks!

Lovely story from the perspective of a young girl. I enjoyed it during a sunny holiday week in Spain.
