And Peter and his wife, Lydia Brimlow, have purchased this gigantic castle in the small town of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, right?

I guess it's not gigantic.

It's a medium-sized castle.

I don't know what the scale for castles is.

And so you become interested in their purchase of this castle and you go to this town and you meet the people of Berkeley Springs, the people who are indifferent to their presence, the people who are organizing against their presence.

And it's this really sort of engrossing story of just small town drama, this interpersonal drama of these like small business owners.

And the castle is always there in the background, right?

The strange people are up on the hill.

But it's a story about this small town struggle.

And I think that's a key thing.

I hope when you read it, you were like, oh, I want to go to Berkeley Springs now, which is I've had more than one person who read the book tell me that.

I'm going to wait till they leave.

I've also heard that, too.

Their business have suffered since the Brimelows took over.

But just a quick thing on this castle.

It is absolutely beautiful.

It should be like a national park or something.

Yeah.

It has that feel.

Yes, that's true.
