First published in 1948, this book was reissued in May 1999, to the delight of her fans - old and new. The year is 1934, and Cassandra fills three notebooks over seven months with her musings and narration of life in the old wreck of a castle. The story moves from one of no hope for prospects of getting the family out of poverty to a bright future for all.
