Publisher's Summary: Seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family live in not-so-genteel poverty in the crumbling ruin of an old English castle. She is the plucky second daughter of a writer father who has suffered in recent years from writer's block but who tries nonetheless to support his family on the meager royalties from his past work. Life becomes much more complicated during the six month period covered by the novel, when the estate's new, young, handsome, American landlords - two young men named Simon and Neil - enter the picture and take an interest in Cassandra and her beautiful older sister.This is that rare gem of a novel that effectively blends humor, adventure, romance, candid introspection, poignancy, intelligence, and all the complicated ups and downs of eccentric family relationships. |
