Sister Utzinger chose the book. It’s “I Capture the Castle” by Dodie Smith. It’s in the Leonardtown library and a fun summer read, not too long, not too deep, but very delightful and enchanting. Perfect for the end of summer.
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 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 old 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.

Book Club was wonderful on Thursday! We had a great discussion and delicious treats and it was such a fun evening. For next month we're reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and it will be at Alecia Darrow's hose, October 15 at 7pm.
