I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain, who lives with her eccentric family in not-so-genteel poverty in a beautiful but ramshackle English castle. Her family includes her father, a novelist suffering from a decade-long writer's block, and her stepmother, Topaz, a free-spirited artist. Determined to forge her own path, Cassandra keeps a diary to practice her writing, chronicling the comical and poignant struggles of her beloved-but exasperating family. Their lives are changed forever with the unexpected arrival of two wealthy and glamorous American brothers, Simon and Neil Cotton, who become their new landlords, bringing with them the promise of romance, fortune, and a complete change to the Mortmain's desperate circumstances.
