Plot

In the heart of a crumbling English castle, 17-year-old Cassandra Mortmain pens the chronicles of her eccentric family's struggle to survive. The Mortmains are a family of faded glory, with her father, a once-renowned author, trapped in a 12-year-long writer's block, unable to reclaim the triumph of his first novel. Her sister Rose, a beauty trapped in despair, rails against their destitute fate, while their unorthodox stepmother Topaz, a bohemian spirit and habitual nudist, offers little aid in their plight. Their world takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of their American landlords, the Cotton brothers, Simon and Neil. Rose, initially repulsed by Simon, strategizes a plan to ensnare him in the webs of her charm — and she succeeds. As wedding bells approach, Cassandra finds herself adrift in a whirlpool of tangled relationships, her role reduced to a mere spectator. But the summer has more surprises in store. Events spiral out of control, entwining Cassandra in a tapestry of frustrated desires, the sweet agony of first love, and the torment of a shattered heart. Her journey will draw you into a captivating saga of the Mortmain family, painting a vivid portrait of life in an English castle, where love, despair, and hope dance in a timeless waltz.
