It's a diary kept by seventeen year old Cassandra during the 1930s. Cassandra lives in a castle – moats, battlements, the works. Unfortunately, money is tight so the castle is crumbling while her step-mum calls it ‘bohemian’ her sister, Rose, calls it ‘depressing’. When rich American Simon moves in next door Rose makes it her mission to marry him. Cassie, of course, has her own boy issues.
I love these girls and the world they live in and I'm not alone J.K. Rowling’s calls Cassie “one of the most charismatic narrators I’ve ever met”.
