Karin | 9338 comments My rating of this book is based on me now--had I read this in my early teens I'd have loved this.

This was written in the 1940s, but set in the 1930s--not quite far enough back for me to call this historical fiction.

Cassandra Mortmain, 17, fills three journals in which she tells this story. She is part of a now-poor, eccentric family who live in a run-down castle her father took a 40 year lease on when he was making money from his first, and only, book.

The writing is fine, but I didn't love it or even enjoy it more than three stars.
