Book Reviews of I Capture the Castle
Book Review: My favourite English novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I have already put a review of this on Amazon.com but see that no-one has yet reviewed it for amazon UK. This is a wonderful book about the eccentric life of the Marchmain family, and the pain of love and growing up for 17-year old Cassandra (who narrates through her diaries). Set in rural England in the 30s, it has many magical and brilliant descriptive passages. I have read it again and again and never tire of it. It becomes like a familiar friend over the years.
