Our March 2005 book, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.
From the Publisher:
I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel
poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills
three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place
within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the
castle"--and the heart of the reader--in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments.
