Description
Elizabeth von Arnim's The Enchanted April opens in a London women's club on a grey February day. Mrs. Wilkins, down from Hampstead to shop, scans The Times in the smoking room. She stops at a small ad. A furnished medieval Italian castle stands on the Mediterranean. It is to let for April. The ad speaks to those who prize wistaria and sunshine. The thought takes root before she knows it.
Four unlike women share the castle to escape damp lives and dull marriages. Sun, sea, and rest work slow change on each. Von Arnim's tale is light on its feet and warm at heart.
