I capture the castle6/3/2023 This book was such a wonderful, enchanting and unpredictable read that by the end of it I felt like I almost was Cassandra, since her confessions, recordings and thoughts in her journals gave me a thorough insight into her. This kind of 'bass-line' plot was all about trying to get him back to work again, and letting the reader get to know Cassandra's brother Thomas a bit more, who does not feature much within the story. I also loved the underlying story of Cassandra's father, a novelist who wrote one renowned book then, after a short spell in prison, became strangely reserved, writing nothing at all. Each character is totally unique and unpredictable, from beautiful Rose who is convinced she will do anything to escape the poverty that she is living in, to strangely glamorous step-mother Topaz, who is absolutely stunning but whose unusual rituals include prancing naked on the hilltops. I could certainly relate to Cassandra with her timidity and clumsiness. The characters are vivid and individual, and I think very relatable.
