I capture the castle by Dodie Smith Everyone talked about this book for so long that I finally picked it up. It is well written and so fun to read. Their father wrote a novel and made a significant amount of money. He then bought a beautiful castle. Cassandra, his daughter, would like to also become an author. She starts by writing in her journal the happenings at their castle. I love all the drama of the romances, the not so romantic encounters, and the dream of romance. I wish some of the romance could have worked out (I am not alone in this by the way) (Thanks for backing me up Andrea)
The Blue castle by L M Montgomery I loved this book. I wish I had a daughter to share this book with. Valancy has this drab room, with a drab life, with drab relatives that put her down. She goes to the Doctor and receives the diagnosis that she has a year to live. She instantly changes. I love the part where she is at the family dinner and the uncle tells a joke and she blatantly stops him to remind him that they have each heard the joke many times and that it isn't even that funny. I only mention that one happening since it is so wonderful (and the least dramatic) and just the beginning of what she ends up doing with her last year to live.
