Instalada en un destartalado castillo rodeado de abundante naturaleza, los días transcurren sin sorpresas en la vida de Cassandra Mortmain. A sus diecisiete años, su familia no es precisamente una fuente de diversión: su padre es escritor, pero no escribe; su madrastra, bohemia y musa de artistas, sueña con tiempos pasados; su hermana Rose muestra una preocupante tendencia a la melancolía; y a su hermano Thomas no le ven el pelo. Sin embargo, un buen día, la tranquila existencia de Cassandra se ve alterada con la llegada de los Cotton, una familia norteamericana que ha heredado el ruinoso edificio. Esta desconcertante aparición trae consigo un generoso aire de energía y vitalidad que cambiará radicalmente el destino de los Mortmain. Y en especial el de las dos hermanas, que tendrán la ocasión de descubrir la amistad, el amor y, sobre todo, el largo y bonito, aunque a veces doloroso, camino hacia la madurez.  Natt90 | Mar 30, 2023 |  This was a re-read of an old favorite of mine. I'm not usually into romance stories, but the characters and setting of this book are so excellent I loooooove it. (  ) kamlibrarian | Dec 23, 2022 | I read this years ago and didn't realize I never added it to my list here until a Goodreads friend recommended it. I loved it-sweet, romantic, and laugh-out-loud funny. Kudos, Dodie Smith! (  ) Harks | Dec 17, 2022 | Haven't read this yet; but I really enjoyed Dodie Smith's original "101 Dalmatians," which I picked up at a thrift long, long ago because of the adorable dog illustrations. This non-Disney version of the story is delightfully loopy and quirky, so I'm quite sure I'll like this one too.

 This book was such a wonderful, enchanting and unpredictable read that by the end of it I felt like I almost was Cassandra, since her confessions, recordings and thoughts in her journals gave me a thorough insight into her. I also loved how the sections of the book were arranged in differently priced notebooks, which really demonstrated the progression of the story It feels, reading it now, as if this is the story that every romantic comedy Hollywood has ever made has been trying to tell. And when we come towards the end of the book and a marriage proposal and happily-ever-after storyline seems to be in the offing, I was worried we were going to stray into that territory. But Smith is too good a writer, Cassandra too interesting a person to settle for this. È contenuto inHa l'adattamento
I write this sitting at the kitchen sink' is the first line of a novel about love, sibling rivalry and a bohemian existence in a crumbling castle in the middle of nowhere. Cassandra Mortmin's journal records her fadingly glamorous stepmother, her beautiful, wistful older sister and the man to whom they owe both their isolation and poverty - Father. The author of one experimental novel, and a minor cause celebre, he has since suffered from writer's block and is determined to drag his family down with him. But if the iron has entered Father's soul it hasn't penetrated Cassandra's... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
