Description
"Four very different women-the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher, and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester-are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each,in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur. The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post-war context, a period noted for its wistful and sometimessatiric writings. Von Arnim''s novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanization and the spread of new technologies, in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally andphysically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism, and constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity, but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and ''enchanted'' location suggests more than personal recuperation"--
