I Capture the Castle by Dodie SmithRead about another book on the list.
The younger daughter of an eccentric, impoverished English family longs for a normal life. Why can't their father break his writer's block? What will they do when the money runs out? Smith makes it all delightfully real and engrossing.
I Capture the Castle is one of Sophia Bennett's top ten stylish reads.
