The Enchanted April
(eBook)
Description
"The Enchanted April" by British author Elizabeth Von Arnim is a book of literary fiction first published in 1922 in the Great Britain. This charming and light-hearted novel about unlikely female friendships and the power of a blissful escape was a best-seller in both England and the United States. The story centers on four very different ladies who reply to an advertisement in "The Times" for a stunning mediaeval castle that is available to rent for a month on the Italian Riviera. They travel to the serene Mediterranean coasts full of hope for a blissful retreat, seduced by the promise of "wisteria and sunlight." As members of the same ladies' club but complete strangers, cheerless Mrs. Arbuthnot and shy Mrs. Wilkins discover some common ground in their struggle to mend troubled marriages. In order to reduce costs, they also unwillingly recruit the widowed Mrs. Fisher and the gorgeous but aloof socialite Lady Caroline Dester. At first, there are conflicts among the group, but as the glorious spring days pass, each person gradually changes while rediscovering hope and love.
