Book to Movie: I Capture The Castle

The husband was on the road for a week, which gave me some time to catch up on my chick flicks.  Or, romances, as I like to call them.

I ran across I Capture The Castle on Netflix.  And I was totally engrossed.  It completely brought the book to life for me.

A brilliant writer moves his family to a castle in countryside so that he can write his next masterpiece.  The next big thing doesn't happen for him and his family falls into desperate poverty while living in a drafty, cold castle.

Cassandra, the middle child and second daughter, begins to write a journal, which is where our story picks up.  It details day to day life in the castle, the struggles with putting food on the table, dealing with their eccentric father...and finding love.  And, more than love, a marriage proposal to get them out of there!

Grab a glass of wine and cuddle up with the book or the movie.
