Book Description:
'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...

Review by Suzy 
I adore this book. Every year or so, on a rainy day, I will pick it up again just so I can indulge in the world and characters again.
This gorgeous coming-of-age story is told by 17-year-old Cassandra, who is trying to capture the everyday lives of her extraordinary family. J.K. Rowling has called Cassandra 'one of the most charismatic narrators I have ever met' and once you have read this book you will understand why.
Romantic and witty, this book is a real treat.
