What this book is about
Cassandra Mortmain narrates her family's eccentric, cash-strapped life in a dilapidated English castle in the 1930s in the journals she keeps to practice her writing. When two wealthy American brothers arrive at the neighboring estate, the family's fortunes seem about to change — but so do Cassandra's feelings about love, art, and growing up.
