TwilightMOMS Book of the Month for May
Posted on 17. Apr, 2009 by AmyO in Books, News
Our book of the month for May is I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. Our discussion forums will open on May 1st so get your copy soon!
I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle’s walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has “captured the castle”–and the heart of the reader–in one of literature’s most enchanting entertainments.

I read this (well, listened to the audio book) a few years ago. It would be fun to participate in the discussion!

My first time joining a book review. I’ve reserved it from my library and should get it by May. Are we reading/discussing a few chapters a day.
