From the creator of The 101\u00a0<\/em>Dalmatians<\/i>\u00a0and Cruella de Vil, is a story about a young girl in a castle. I Capture the Castle<\/em> is Dodie Smith at her finest, snarky yet real.\u00a0I am one of the few who read this book recently, as an adult and I must admit it was one of the best decisions I made in my reading life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cassandra Mortmain and her family live in a crumbling castle with finances so bad that they buy food by selling their remaining furniture. The unexpected arrival of the rich American brothers who have inherited the neighbouring home, sends Rose into a fever of husband-hunting. But does she find the right guy? Does Cassandra fall in love? Does the entry of the Americans make things better for the Mortmain family or were they better off living in poverty?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I Capture the Castle<\/em> is a Quirky Book<\/h3>\n

I Capture the Castle<\/em> is a book filled with hilarious moments and subtle thoughts looming in the mind of a teenage girl. This one is definitely a fun read.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cI WRITE THIS SITTING IN THE KITCHEN SINK\u201d
\nThe opening line \u201cI write this sitting in the kitchen sink<\/em>\u201d pulls you right into the novel. You are confused. Why would someone sit in a kitchen sink? Why is she writing in the sink? Is something wrong? Why would she write if something is? Or is everything okay? Why would one sit in a sink if all is well? You cannot ignore that sudden rush of bookish blood through your body and not continue reading.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. THE CHARACTERS :
\nThe book has the quirkiest characters ever. Cassandra (our seventeen year old diary writer), her sister Rose (whose sole ambition is to marry a rich guy), her step mother, Topaz (ex- model who is known for roaming around naked on the grounds), her father (eccentric, unproductive novelist who has written nothing after one modernist best seller and isn\u2019t concerned about the household in the least bit), Stephen (the adopted handsome live-in-help who is hopelessly in love with Cassandra and copies love poems to her from books). And oh! There is a dog named Heloise and a cat named Alecard. What more can you want?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. AMERICANS VS ENGLISH :
\nThe flavor of Cassandra\u2019s diary changes when they get new landlords in the form of two American brothers. The clash between the American and British style of speaking, mannerisms and even table manners (OH! YES) are hilarious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. MIDSUMMER EVE :
\nEvery year, on Midsummer Eve, Cassandra holds rites \u2014 spell casting around a volatile fire, chanting and dancing \u2014 at the foot of the tower.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u00a0Capture the Castle<\/em>\u00a0is a YA novel<\/h3>\n

Here is why YA fans will love it.
\n1. CASTLE:<\/p>\n

The whole story happens in a HUGE castle in the Sussex countryside. There is a moat, there is a tower, there are cold dingy rooms and there are spacious unfurnished ones. Also, the book boasts of every kind of moments \u2013 the creepy fearful ones, the romantic tug-your-heart string ones and also the ones that will break your heart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND WORDS OF WISDOM :
\nWould you be an Emily or Charlotte Bronte? Do you know speed writing? Why is summer mist romantic and autumn mist just sad? Cassandra is full of thoughts. And she writes them all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. CASSANDRA IS NASTY :
\nDon\u2019t get me wrong. She is nasty because she is so truthful in her writing. She writes about everything, her shortcomings, her fears and the mindset of the unusual inhabitants of the castle. This is one of the few books written as a journal and reads like an honest unedited diary of a teenage girl.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. COMING OF AGE STORY OF A HOPELESS DAYDREAMER :
\nCassandra daydreams about boys the way all teenage girls do. She spends time imagining herself marrying or having lusty time or fantasizing about being in love. Totally relateable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. SISTERLY LOVE AKA BFF :<\/p>\n

The affection (and also the fights) between Rose and Cassandra is wonderfully described. It is Cassandra\u2019s truthful portrayal of their situation that made me non judgmental about her sister\u2019s desire to marry a rich guy.<\/p>\n

6. ROMANCE :
\nThis book is young love at its best – whether it be Stephen trying hard to impress Cassandra, Cassandra being unsure of herself, Rose thinking she can fall in love after getting married or Neil, the American brother, being cynical of love -this book has it all.<\/p>\n

\"Book
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I Capture the Castle <\/em>by Dodie Smith is a Classic<\/h3>\n

I\u00a0Capture the Castle\u00a0<\/em>maybe quirky and young adultish, but it is a classic in its own right. This was Dodie Smith\u2019s first novel and she spend seven years editing it because she wanted it to be perfect. And it nearly is.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. ARE YOU AND AUSTEN OR A BRONTE?
\nThere must be no Classics lover who has not been part of this debate. Cassandra asks the same question. There are references to the books she reads and it is like talking to a book lover over tea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. SIMILAR IDEAS AS WOOLF :
\nCassandra shares her room with her sister Rose. And she does feel the need of A Room of One\u2019s own<\/em> which is the gist of Virginia Woolf\u2019s famous essay. Woolf\u2019s essay also looks into why women lack a literary position as profound as men, citing poverty, lack of education and domestic responsibilities as the fundamental reasons which is exactly the situation Cassandra is in<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. THE QUOTES (Grab your highlighter) :
\nThere are so many amazing quotes in this book. My e-copy is highlighted in different colors. Some of them :<\/p>\n

\u201cI shouldn’t think even millionaires could eat anything nicer than new bread and real butter and honey for tea.\u201d<\/em>
\n“And no bathroom on earth will make up for marrying a bearded man you hate.\u201d
\n\u201cThere is something revolting about the way girls’ minds so often jump to marriage long before they jump to love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Bothered Me<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The ending is too sudden and abrupt.<\/li>\n
  2. Cassandra\u2019s dad! Why doesn\u2019t anyone ask him to act like a grown up an take some responsibilities?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    But I Loved it<\/h3>\n

    The beginning of the novel is much like an Austen household and the women want to secure a good match and thus conquer the castle, like Rose\u2019s aspirations. Cassandra shares this ideology at the beginning of the novel, but later changes her stand. For Cassandra, capturing the castle represents her finding her identity and making sense of the world and people around her as she transforms from a na\u00efve teenager to an adult. Or perhaps she only hopes to capture the essence of her life in the pages of her diary.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Final Verdict<\/h3>\n

    A whimsical read with witty prose and marvellous characters. \u00a0Cassandra is an enchanting narrator who takes you along as she tries to capture the castle in the most humorous and magnificent way imaginable. If you haven\u2019t read this already, pick it up! This is required reading for every bookworm.<\/p>\n
