A beautiful hardback edition of one of the most gorgeous, funny and
heartbreaking novels ever written. '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 fading 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. 'I know of few novels that inspire as much fierce lifelong
affection in their readers' Joanna Trollope 'This book has one of
the most charismatic narrators I've ever met' J. K. Rowling **One
of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World** VINTAGE
