Book Review of I Capture the Castle

I Capture the Castle
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


This book is a fascinating look into happenings in a small English countryside village in the 1930s or 40s. The 17 year old narrator lives in not-so-genteel poverty in an old castle. This book is narrated by her as she writes a journal in order to learn how to be a writer. Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowlings, said "This book has one of the most carismatic narrators I've ever met," and I whole-heartedly agree! You will be charmed.
