Castles In The Air: The Restoration Adventures Of Two Young Optimists And A Crumbling Old Mansion
Helpful Score: 2


i loved this book. it caught my interest right from the start and it was hard to put down. she is a good writer and her story reads almost like an adventure/mystery. the things they went through and the conditions under which they lived for a very long time, are amazing.

you find yourself so grateful that they restored this castle. what a loss to history it would have been if the castle had been left to its crumbling.

i didn't read it until we returned from our uk trip. i wish i had known of its existence, as we were 5 minutes' drive away...maybe someday we can make another trip and we could stay in one of their B&B rooms; although i really have no desire to meet ghosts and they undoubtedly do have them.
