The head of the Mortmain family is Cassandra Mortmain’s father, a writer suffering from writer's block who has not published anything since his first book, a hit entitled, Jacob Wresstling. Ten years before the story begins, he took out a forty-year lease on a dilapidated but beautiful castle, hoping to find either inspiration or isolation there; now, his family is selling off the furniture to buy food.

This is really a masterfully done audiobook, the narrator does a wonderful job and the music additions between chapters are really lovely, but it loses a star for being abridged. There are a lot of beautiful and funny moments that are cut from this version that I was looking forward to hearing when I purchased. It’s a short enough book that I don’t understand why these cuts were made!
